[If you ignore this paragraph then this post is still wordless. Sorry I haven’t been posting much. This has been the longest radio silence on this blog since its inception in 2008. I don’t have a really good excuse: just the 24/7 distraction of the puppy and a bad case of the winter blahs. But spring is on its way, action has been taken against the other causes of mopiness, and soon I shall be writing again (both here and on my goddamn book). If nothing else – there’s always Camp NaNoWriMo to look forward to! So anyway – these pics are from a Forest Service job that Matt is bidding on. It’s a campground on a glacial lake. You can see in the second shot that the trees they want removed are marked. This place is beautiful!]
