quiet morning in Montana, reflecting on the whirlwind activity of these past few months, feeling grateful for it all.

can’t help but feel the symmetry of this majestic landscape and the many months considering Frederic Church, landscapes, windows, picture frames, spar varnish…

Once again, so grateful to and for changing the way I look out a window forever.

If you haven’t made a plan to see Winter at the Summer House at Olana Historic State Park, do yourself a favor…it’s a very special thing.
