I have returned from exhibiting some of my work at the Celebrate Montana Artists show. I am grateful to the Montana Arts Council’s Montana Artrepreneur Program for the support and camaraderie I experience with the coaches and artists in this group.

The night before I headed over to Helena I packed my Subaru to the brim and went on an evening walk with my camera.
The wind shaped movement of the Larch needles in the snow caught me for a time. I imagined their delicate sifting through the air to find a new place on the cold white covered earth. For several weeks I have been paying attention to Larch needles and once again, I felt an awareness of arrangements.
A sense of “we are in this together” washed over me. We are in this together―this air―this earth―these trees―this snow―my breath―your breath――these needles―once a part of a tree―now moving back to earth―such movement caught for a time in stillness.
