Carol, Sophie and I cross-country skiing. [2000]
In Great Falls, Montana just after we visited the Lewis & Clark Museum and just before a four-day canoe trip along the Missouri River. The Kansas River is just as pretty and interesting as the upper Missouri, but Montana offers access, camping areas, and has a strong appreciation of their tourism economy. It's time for Kansas to develop a bicycle/canoeing corridor that runs all the way from Manhattan to Kansas City. [2000]
Cycling in Douglas County. [1999]
Cycling on the Katy Bicycle Trail in Central Missouri is draws riders from all over the county and supports a bed & breakfast, winery, antique shop and restaurant economy that would have died long ago as airplanes displaced trains as a prime means of public transportation. A thoughtful system of bicycles trails -- such as the Freedom Trail through eastern Kansas -- would be just as popular and hold just as much economic value. [1998]
At the end of a canoe trip on the Green River in Utah. The black hands come from having sunscreen on your hands while using aluminum paddles. [1995]
Carol and I at Zabriski Point in Death Valley, California. [1994]

An ark cradle for Rachel.
Frames around photos of my grandfather. He was raised on a Wyoming cattle ranch which is still in the family name, owned by a distant cousin. He also had many stormy days as an appointee to the New Mexico Highway Commission.
A two-door, two-window insulated dog house with license-plate awnings and double-paned windows. The skin is flattened cans from the Walmart Recycling Center.
