My studio faces east, away from the mountains and the view is not particularly that interesting, especially compared with the surrounding views to the south, west and north. However, when I look at these trees from my studio window, each day they become something new. For the past several months we've been getting much more rain than is usual for us here on the high plains. A friend of mine from Circle, Montana mentioned how the grass this year seems to be almost "luscious." This is true, the trees and grasses are as green as can be! So here are "my" trees as they appear on this fine summer day in June.
