Carbonate Mountain Still Life
This photo is from Hailey, Idaho on Memorial Day. I stopped there on my drive from Kansas to Oregon, where I now live. Idaho has some big country, especially impressive when the wildflowers are getting their groove on. My host in Hailey was Jon Marvel, executive director of the Western Watersheds Project, which at any given time has several lawsuits against BLM in the works. I now work for BLM as a botanist. We had some good conversations about the mythology of the american west and the reasons for BLM's inept management style. On my drive, I also visited with old friends from Alaska: Gretel Haight and family in Longmont, Colorado and Alison Higdon and family in Hailey--great people who are thankfully bringing more great people into the world.
