I have been spending a lot of time in the mountains lately.
Even though the landscape is frozen, it is still beautiful to me.
Here are some fresh mountain lion tracks.
Some of the best views can be seen from atop a mountain.
Autumn colors bring life to the fading plant life of October.
Splashes of red, orange, an yellow against gray skies and brown drying grasses really become center stage.
These colors i see in nature inspired my art right now.
Sometimes I even find hints of pinks and purples.
Starting to see signs of spring peeking through the frozen ground near Chicago, IL.
Cattails and moss and hardy shoots of green peeking through patches of snow mixed with last season's brown leaves.
