Did you know Pierre has an art gallery?

Join me this Saturday at the Waterfront Galley for the Arts @wg4thearts , located in the lower level of the Waterfront building, right along (you guessed it!) the beautiful Missouri River!

I will be there with two other photographers for this months showing, Focus on Photography. 🌅

11-3 coffee and tea ☕️
6-9 for a bit of wine 🍷
(I stole that from the Facebook event page from the gallery 😆)

I plan to be there in person from 11-3, but my photographs will be up the remainder of the month.

Fields of sunflowers are currently blooming all across South Dakota! Their happy faces add such joyful color to the landscape.

In the background of 'Blazing Sun' you can see a hazy setting sun. The fires out west created some unique views at sunset.

Sunflowers are the official symbol of Sarcoma cancer as a reminder to those affected that there is hope for a brighter future.

This summer I was diagnosed with a soft tissue type of sarcoma.

"Sarcomas are cancers that develop from bones or soft tissues, such as fat, muscles, nerves, and more. Because bone and soft tissues can be found nearly everywhere in the body, a sarcoma can start in any part of the body." - @sarcomaalliance , an excellent source to understand this type of cancer.

"But I will sing of Your strength; I will sing aloud of Your steadfast love in the morning. For You have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress.
O my Strength, I will sing praises to You, for You, O God, are my fortress, the God who shows me steadfast love. ~Psalm 59:16-17

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trial

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. ~James 1:2-3

Steadfast: firmly fixed in place.

Found a late bloomer, the last of the summer coneflowers. These native prairie forbes have super deep roots. I know because I transplanted some to my garden. It was a workout just to dig up three! 💪🏼
