It’s already Fall, which became clear to me because of the color in the trees on the way to work.  Right after I realized this, I heard on NPR that there would be snowshowers this weekend. This seemed unbelieveable as it was nearly 80 degrees on Friday. I woke up Saturday morning excited to peep out [...]

Today I’m trying to get back from a nice, event-filled weekend. Friday we had a chance to walk around downtown Bozeman and go to the Emerson for an art opening (for another post!). Saturday Paul’s friend came in to town, so we went to Hyalite and Yellowstone. They went on another hike this morning, but I slept [...]

Just a quick note to say we’re back from Texas. The above photo is of a Century Plant we saw in beautiful Big Bend National Park. The plant (which looks kind of like aloe) grows for about twenty five years, blooms (as above), then dies. I saw such an array of plantlife in the desert, [...]

Bear with me while I run around my new home and revel in its gorgeousness. Paul and I went to Yellowstone on Wednesday and what started out to be a kind of crummy day turned out to be spectacularly beautiful. We saw super-saturated landscapes after the rain (find the rainbow in the photo below) and had [...]

Just a quick update to let everyone know that we arrived safely in Bozeman last night, greeted by a glowing orange sun setting over the Bridger Mountains. The trip was amazing–we drove through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming and then, Montana. Over the 2500 miles we got to stop and [...]

Today I’m going back to some photos I took over 2 years ago, of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s public art project, The Gates. At the time, I was just leaving my job at Newsweek, which was right by the park (which made for some lovely lunches!). I went out every day and took photos, and on weekends [...]

On Sunday I left my packing-induced mess to go adventuring with some friends. We drove through New York City traffic for hours (literally) to get to the Delaware river. We meant to go tubing, but we left a little too late in the day, so we went swimming instead. All told, we spent about 30 [...]
