Lake Wabamun, Alberta

Humility
This scene reminded me of the Bonfire of the Vanities;  both the scene and the story made me feel humble.

Crown
I immediately thought of a "crown of thorns" when I saw this scene. It's the seminary training, I guess.

Volleyball

I know, I know. This picture appears to have nothing to do with the sport of volleyball. But the intricate netting made me think of all the delicate work required to make any kind of net at all.

Ferny Fingers - February 2000
My wife once wrote a beautiful poem about
"Ferny fingers
Delicately snow-glutted..."

Hip Deep

I ended up hip-deep in a ditch of snow, taking this picture. What we artists won't go through in the pursuit of our "art"!

When the Bough Breaks

If an earlier picture looks as if its cradling something, this one looks as it is about to spill its contents.

Snap, Crackle Pop

The remnants of a natural explosion. The day the temperatures sky-rocketed at the end of February, 2000.

Denfield Post

It's not in Denfield, but it's along the Denfield Road.

Hey, I'm an economist. I understand about evolution and change and markets and efficiency. Does that mean I can't be nostalgic and wistful?
