I think of bears as my spirit animal. I rarely see them in the area I moved to a few years ago but I used to see them often on my hikes where I used to live.

I've always admired the workmanship that goes into quiltmaking but I don't have the skill or patience. My quilted landscape #artwork is the closest I'll ever come to creating an actual quilt.

I photographed this deer and her two spotted fawns dining on the greenery next to the vet's in the middle of town where I used to live. There was so much wildlife around there, that kind of sight wasn't uncommon.
