I had no hand in this. I love wood and wood pens, but I also love trees. That being said, I do see a LOT of potentially good wood for many uses.

this is probably one of the rowdiest photography groups you could find....
You want big. Texas ain't got it. Not when it comes to stored water. Largest Lazer show in world
Somewhere I have a photo of me standing inside the wheel of a dump truck at the coal mine in Kemmerer, WY. Each wheel had its own servo-motor and fire suppression system. I can't remember what they said the tires weighed but it was scary heavy.
152 miles of reservoir. been inside this a lot . we changed the Army Corp of engineers methods of repairing 15' out of whack wire cuts. It is crazy to build scaffold -plaster to engineer standards- perfect and then have a dozen of them get up there and beat on it with hammers. In the end they changed the spec for Bonneville power. Grand coulee- terazzo floors- vast rooms that house generators- you could eat off the floors.
Base of Lake McDonald, Glacier National Park this morning.
Great picture! Love the "floating" rock.
Entering Glacier National Park from the east. Salamander Glacier. In 1966 it was 57 acres, in 2015 44 acres. And smaller today.
About 2 dozen glaciers remain the the park from about 150 in the mid 1800’s. To be classified a glacier the mass must be at least 100’ thick with ice and snow, be 25 acres in size and move of its own weight, about an inch a year.
The distant peak on the left is Swiftcurrent Mountain. There is a fire watch cabin on the top, “manned” by Carol. Carol walks to work. Mules bring supplies every 2 weeks. Occasionally she signals the boat on the lake with a mirror. Not much going on I guess.
Love the photos of Glacier. One of my want-to-go's! Closest I've been is Great Falls. Does Carol need a hubby - I might be willing to relocate if the price is right!
Maybe conjugal visits, Mike. But it’s a heck of a hike.
Picture to be added in a moment: heading to Colorado Springs down from Woodland Park, I thought I was on I-40 going through the Great Smokey Mountains...a memory that popped in my head from many, many years ago, but so vivid. Denise tried to capture the pictures the best she could.
Sitting outside watching the storm go by.
Don't got much of a view - many tall trees around - so gotta rely on radar - we gonna get some rain!! Please!
Stuff like this has been rolling in about every day, sometimes you get rain, sometimes dust...
I ordered some oyster knife blanks from USAKnifemakers and a 2013 issue of Blade magazine was used as a packing peanut. Leafing through it I was surprised to see our very own @robert flynt :
Very cool!
Very cool!
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky… it was a Deep Purple morn.
