"aspens"         

the air is autumn crisp

fallen leaves crunching under foot, got my nice hiking boots on

barely a breeze

midday, bright 

sunlight diffused by a thin haze

not far off, the whistle of an elk

the eagle's shadow crossing my path

big sky, soft day

I was just thinking about loading up the carry on.  

Packing light carrying a little bit of everything. 

Equipped for a few days away, laying over, surviving the "scan"..

One bag overhead, one under the seat in front of you.

Are we there yet?

happy trails, Hana Christy Steinberg

Obsidian Mountains      by Hana Christy Steinberg    acrylic paint on canvas 24"x36"

We finally made it to Yellowstone National Park.  I took about 1000 pictures.
It was spectacular.
We arrived the first day the camp ground was opened for the spring season.  Several trails were still
closed because they were still covered with snow.  Yellowstone Lake was covered with a thin sheet of ice when we
got there, ice with steam vents at the shore. The lake was halfway melted by the time we headed south.
Magical sulfuric steam everywhere.
No fast food restaurants, no strip malls.  Keep the cooler loaded, the picnic life.
Humans outnumbered by animals.
Day trip to the northern area of the park,  Mammoth Hot Springs.
Steam escaping leaving mineral deposits of all colors, creating a crisp thin stone bed of travertine.
Mountains of obsidian rock giving new meaning to a few pieces of jewelry I have somewhere....
the ground hot beneath your boots..
and the weather was perfect.

open mike

Saturday afternoon.

The street outside, lined with parked motorcycles,

shiny clean waxed displayed.

enter throught the open door, smiling face inside

"Hey, No Cover! Come on in."

....and they keep on coming, walking in that door

guitars, bass, sax, trumpet, drum set ready to go, mikes turned on....

turn up the volumn

get up outta that chair......
