Someone said, ‘Don’t let your dog in the bed…”. Whoops!

A few snaps from the snuggle pup Oso (now older) to brighten your day.

It’s been over a year - and yes he still shares the bed….or hogs it.

This place - will have a reckoning to remember this year.

America’s second largest reservoir, Lake Powell, is dwindling. Its water levels are dropping below 25%; bracing to break all low water records as the rivers upstream - the ones that supply the main Colorado, and so much more - are trickling.

2026 will be one for western water record books - quietly sending huge ripples to economies nationwide and beyond — but often go unnoticed because of the noise the world drowns out, slow motion water sagas.

“We learn of value of water when the well runs dry.” — Ben Franklin

A few favorite clicks from the headwaters of my favorite watershed - The Colorado.

I’ve documented these snowy / watery wonders across seasons, much of my life and three decades of drought and a hotter, drier climate. Sadly, this spring is as thirsty as I’ve ever witnessed.
