                        More images:

                        Description of images:

                        (1) Still life: Water goblet, petrified wood and antique brass salmon fishing reel –
                        (2) Buffalo Skull: This was presented to me by my good friend and “Nam Buddy” Grizz … it is from his Sweat Lodge .. he is Lakota Souix – The presentation ceremony was quite moving –
                        (3) Tractor: This is my 1949 tractor I use around my place –
                        (4) Tree Garden: This is my tree garden … have planted over the years 125 trees and flowering shrubs … a wonderful view out my studio window – The structure in the background is the original two -room homestead on this property –
                        (5) Snow Scene: For those of you who might wish to cool off from the heat, this is a scene from my back door on 8 February … the view is looking South over my property … 51 degrees below zero –
                        (6) Moonrise: Taken from my studio window this week –
                        (7) Sunrise: An early morning sunrise as viewed out my studio window in May of this year –
                        (8) Annie and Hud Painting: This scene came about because my sister wanted a photograph of Annie watching me paint … she watches every single brushstroke – As you can see, she is very attached to her ball –
                        (9) This ninth image ( Annie – Studio Companion )was posted in the initial posting before I had problems getting all this uploaded –

                        I apologize for this mix up – Hud

                                        Adding another image for those who like old structures –

                                        This is a close-up of the original homestead on this property … as you can see it is a “two roomer” – The nearest room was an addition at a later date … thus it started out as just one room – It has only one door and one window which is on the Southern side ( i.e., facing the hills in the background ) –

                                        Also, you can see I am developing garden beds for planting Charlotte’s ( my wife ) favorite flowers in her memory –

                                            Wonderful selections of photos – would love to sit at that easel with a nice big fire roaring!

                                            Beautiful and exciting images for us to enjoy this month, Hud! Thanks so much for hosting for us this July. I’m hoping to get time to work on some of these. I love the photo of you painting and Annie faithfully watching you work. Great selection!

                                                    These are all super ones, Hud! Annie and you, too, are very cute!

                                                        Annie may be cute, but I am just a stand-in because of my sister … otherwise the photograph would be devoid of Hud –
