Some of you have been asking about Finn, my rescue dog, so it’s time I told you how he’s doing. He was found starving on the streets of Truchas, NM
William deBuys: Coyotes
I’ve quoted William deBuys in my posts and on other Wisdom Wednesdays before. I love this author and highly recommend his books. For me, The Walk has been deeply inspiring, affecting how I walk on my land. This passage came to mind because the coyotes have been so vocal lately. Whatever I am doing I […]
What do Artists Need?
I just watched, over the last three nights, three amazing biographies: Alfred Stieglitz: The Eloquent Eye, Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision, and The Life and Work of Sally Mann.
