Spirits magically emerge Early morning in the mountains of Wyoming, a cup of organic coffee, a walking meditation through the sagebrush flats and a thought of how wonderful indigenous plants are. I embracing their resilient longevity.  Hence a series of  plein air creations: morning stillness, hot midday sun and then afternoon wind through the trees. As the pieces were drying I noticed spirits emerging in them. It was quite unexpected.   Did I find them, or they me?
