Tribalism in America and in Britain

The more I read about Brexit in England and Trump in America the more I find myself repeating that old cliche: humans are just not very rational beings. Most people are influenced more by tribalism than by rationality.  And everyone is to some degree a victim of tribalism.   Humans evolved in tribes and lived …

We all need to cool it on the name calling

There has been a huge divide between the working class and what I suppose could be called the college educated class for many years now in America.  And this divide is rapidly becoming more and more unbridgeable.   As tempers get hotter and hotter, the names each side calls each other are getting more and …

Gibbon River in Yellowstone National Park

The above photograph of the Gibbon River was taken in Yellowstone National park.  On cool autumn mornings like this one, the whole park seems to be full of steam. Yellowstone is a lot more than geysers and wildlife.  There are many, many beautiful spots like this one that make me feel, at least for awhile, that maybe all …

Sandhill Crane in the Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuge

The Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuge is about seventy miles south of Albuquerque, NM on I-25. This is one of the best places in America to see wildlife, especially Sand Hill Cranes, Snow Greese and Canadian Geese in large numbers.  And I really mean large numbers, like tens of thousands. The best times to see …

Logan Pass in Glacier National Park

This picture was taken above the Logan Pass visitor center on a trail up to what is called the Hanging Gardens. I had been up in Hanging Gardens all afternoon shooting wildflowers and mountain Goats.  If you are even in Glacier, don't miss this spot.

Mesa Arch in Canyonlands

Mesa Arch in Canyonlands  is one of the most beautiful places in America, especially at dawn in the winter months. I took this picture on a very chilly early morning in about 2000.  To see Mesa Arch like it is above you need to be there in the winter: December, January, February or close to …
