  • Greetings from Yellowstone National Park

    When I was a resident of Los Angeles I had the good fortune of visiting Yellowstone and Yosemite over the years. Those visitations inspired me visually because of the grandeur and majesty of the settings. They also reinforced my activism in conservation programs of which I was already a…
