Every time I fly into SEATAC the pilot announces we're on initial descent and current conditions are, "46 degrees, light rain, wind out of the north at 10." Every. Single. Time.

Sunset faded in an all to brief flash of oranges and reds over Pikes Peak. A peaceful good night to you in a not so peaceful world.
Morning sun illuminates Pikes Peak to start of the month of March.
Hazy Houston skyline from IAH. It was 85 here today so I’m thankful to be heading home to Colorado. It’s too warm in Colorado for this time of year, but at least not surface of the sun hot like south Texas.
A brontothere skull displayed to highlight the the unique teeth used to sheer soft vegetation in the Eocene.
#FossilFriday The impressive teeth of an Eocene brontothere displayed in Vernal’s Utah Field House museum.
News of the World with Tom Hanks. It’s a comfort movie for me, and not many have heard of it.
How’s it going? This is how it’s going. Someone hacked into my rental car overnight. Buuuut, she left a note with all of her insurance information. There are still good of people in this world. Accidents happen. It’s why we buy insurance.
Type 4-2-4 locomotive in Hermann Park
Fountain and small lake at Hermann Ark, Houston. I love urban parks, how they preserve a slice of the natural world in the midst of concrete and steel.
I’m in Houston this week for follow up appointments with MD Anderson clinic. Plenty of slack time to explore Herman Park and the Museum District. I even rode the little train that circles the park.

Storm coming in. Pikes Peak is somewhere behind the clouds working snowy magic.
This action further harms Colorado’s leading scientific research, competitiveness, and the safety of our communities.

Clouds obscure the summit of Pikes Peak, bringing some snow to the heights.

Lichen grows on the rocks outside my window. They need little water, some sun, not to be disturbed. Two things in a mutualistic relationship, as the biologists say. A peaceful way to bring beauty to the world. What keeps them together? Simple biology? Natural selection? I think it’s love.
Fresh snow on Pikes Peak
Two Silken Windhounds intertwine on a small braided blue rug.

Pikes Peak wears a crown of dark clouds on 12 February 2026
Good morning! Clouds over Pikes Peak to start the day. Pikes is thinking stormy thoughts but has been reluctant to share snow with those of us down below so far this year.
New Vintage Dinosaur Art! And I'm happy to say that it's more Maurice Wilson from the 1950s, courtesy of reader Alexander Guridov. Wilson's art is remarkably well-observed and beautifully painted for the time, and I might get a bit gushing.
Studying a map of their new bivouac area at a roadside are (L-R) 2nd Lt. Edwards H. Androvetta, of Mountain Lakes, NJ; 2nd Lt. Robert H. Foote, of Hebron, CN; S/Sgt. Min Sumida, of Los Angeles, CA; and Sgt Minorn A. Ikehara, of Honolulu, HI; part ofL company, 442nd Combat Team Chambois Sector, France 10/13/1944
There are principles I was taught as a child and still believe. The 442nd Regimental Combat Team taught me this one. "Americanism is a matter of the mind and heart; Americanism is not, and never was, a matter of race or ancestry."

The obvious root cause of why you bought more books is that you don’t have enough books. Your decision to buy more is correct.
A watercolour painting of a great spotted woodpecker holding onto a tree
I’ve had many people ask the last couple days if I sell my art, and where. I do sell it, I’ve been a professional artist for the last 5+ years. I sell on Etsy, and on my own Website.
The woodpecker I posted on Friday isn’t for sale as it’s for an exhibition, but there will be prints available :)
