The days Shorter Snow melting. Feeling down. In the alley, the path of lights leading over the horizon to... tomorrow, I suppose.

"Good Morning Powderhorn" Sunrise, December 30th, 2012. This is my last Powderhorn365 photo. You begin something, and it grows. In the end, what I learned isn't what I expected. The space around Powderhorn - the space, the land, the air, the light - these are what nourish me. I live a block off the park, and every morning, walking my pups, I head for the same overlook, to see the space, the light.. a chance for this country boy to take a deep breath in the middle of this city. The beauty is here, I just need to look. The beauty is everywhere I look in the morning. I lean towards the vista, the wide view, especially with my photos. I can relax, taking in this morning life, knowing that life is a force as old, as deep, as sure as the sunrise. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning.
"Thank you" Just got done shoveling! Anyways, being the Thursday photographer for Powderhorn365 in 2012 was an amazing experience. This project taught me much more about Powderhorn Park and myself than I thought possible. I wish this experience upon everyone. All the best to future Powderhorn365 photographers!

"Family & Friends" Vel, my sister's friend, was visiting from California and joined us for dinner. Watching the two sign, catching up on their lives and their language, was beautiful. Watching my children try to figure Vel out, and her language, was inspiring.
"3 Supportive Friends" Erin Moren (left), Cristina Benz (middle), my wife Laura Byard (right) and I met at the Powderhorn Park Rec Center while serving in City of Lakes AmeriCorps during the 2007-2008 school year. We came together to participate in Cristina's Empty Bowl Project hosted by her Washburn High ceramic arts students. The event was held at the Pillsbury House Theatre which was recently updated with a new desk, box office sign and a store and script library by Erin's amazing business Tandem Made (www.tandemmade.com) that she co-owns with her husband, Nate Moren.
