Beautiful photos. Missing the high desert. There are a couple photos I’d love to get prints of! The death of a partner can reverberate for years. Walking helps--especially in lovely places.

Glad you like them! Everyone will be able to buy professional prints of photos I post here from a gallery I'm setting up at SmugMug. Should be up this week, I'll announce in Notes.

Photos are amazing, and such a beautiful ring in your last one.

Thank you! It's Zuni style inlay, from an artist at Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico. The design is a stylized arrowhead. I was instructed to always wear it with the point facing *away* from my body.

I deleted the comment you may be referring to because I want to stop imagining how hard it is. We'll see!

I can’t imagine the emotional challenge but we both know what Kathy would want and she’d probably scoff at your hesitation. What is the Socratic notion? “Not to decide is to decide.”

Yeah, you need to get after that for lots of life reasons, brother.

It's the hardest thing I've ever faced.
