What is Life ?


What is Life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in winter. It's the little shadow that dances across the evening grass and disappears into the sunset. Blackfoot Indian Quote

Tenaya Lake, California


Exiting Yosemite National Park towards Tioga Pass and Lee Vining, Tenaya Lake is one of the more beautiful roadside vistas in this country.

Kokopelli


This is the biggest and best kokopelli pictograph I've ever seen. It is near life size in red ochre. If I remember correctly, it's in Southern Colorado near Great Sand Dunes NP. Kokopelli was a fertility God, bringer of the spring and rain with the playing of his flute. Petroglyphs date back 3000 years throughout the southwest.

Tarahumara


Tarahumara ladies well dressed in colorful clothing often hand made.

Copper Canyon, Mexico

In the chilly morning air, one can see chimney smoke rising from nowhere, as the simple homes of the Tarahumara People, built of native rock and wood blend into the landscape. The sounds of laughter and the chopping of wood echo in the hills and canyons, yet from a distance the vista seems uninhabited.
