We have one more month until the end of the summer. It may seem like too short a time for my son, who is loathe to give up his freedom, but it seems like forever for someone like me. I do not juggle tasks well. I am enjoying my time with my family and our travels across the west to Colorado.

The sky over the prairies in Colorado and Wyoming really give you an idea of the infiniteness of space. These are the scenes that I grew up with and which inform my artistic sensibility.

An artist that I admire got me thinking about clouds in a way that I had not bothered with before. The plan is to commit some of these visions to paper in the very near future. Hopefully this will whet my appetite for creation and yours for seeing them in the future. Tomorrow, however, I will be hiking at Mt. Baker.
