Monomad: Weaselhead Flats Forest

I found myself pulled into a forest; it was like the path became longer and longer, and I didn't want to turn back. I walked and walked until I was surrounded by trees, and the road back seemed even…

Sunset Through A Fence

Jackrabbit doing some grooming

Cherub Statue and Different Versions

These are all pictures of the same statue taken at different times, a year or 2 apart. I think they serve as a great example of how you can get a completely different viewpoint of the same subject an…
