red rocks


red rocks, las vegas, the birdland
that's chris on the interminable descent from black orpheus


meditations



sarah theurer's nest mandala
ancient rock art mandala and the infinite climb


on the street and the  temple framed by trees

drawing and the sidewalk


the path is the path


this is the trail through the mist


this is the trail and this is the record of the trail


a trail and another trail

a few paintings

the story about the trees, and the path, and the boats

sketch for a book

lounge chair symbolizes heaven

a little house on the side of the road

mount nebo, utah county



hiked up Mt. Nebo, almost 12,000 feet, we had to bury the tents because of the high winds.  We started around 5,000 ft, camped at 10, 400.  Started hiking around 4:30 am, the next day, but could not avoid the very high winds, sunrise from the south peak, looking toward the north peak.  Snowshoes to 10,400, crampons after that. I ran out of food, luckily mike gave me cheese and chocolate at the summit.  Hiking to camp with 45 lbs was tough, hiking to 12,000 without a pack was a relatively easy.  Note to self, always hire a sherpa.
