spring in boulder
Springtime is a great time to walk in Boulder.The weather is unpredictable with heavy wet snow one day, bright summer sunshine the next day. Flowers are blooming, or trying to figure out whether it is the right time to bloom with all the snow. The moisture in the air carries the smells and makes it…

I think the photographs parallel the difficulties he had in his life with the deaths of his daughter…
