This fall I traveled to Glacier National Park with my wife, Ashton and my father for our annual research trip in search of goats. We hiked great distances through absolutely gorgeous country but didn't see the numbers of goats that we have in the past. All and all I came away with sore feet, tired muscles, several shots of goats and an energized spirit. Not all of our research trips pan out as expected but in the end it's the experience of getting out in the great outdoors.

 It wasn't long after returning to Bozeman that we hiked the two thousand foot climb of a local mountain to find more goats. Again the hike was spectacular and spending the day watching the goats was priceless. 

 I am working on a few paintings for the SCI convention in Las Vegas, NV again this year. I will be posting my paintings to my website as they are completed.
