Drifting On Threads of Time

ruckee, CA ⁠Like all of the pieces we printed for The Cedar House Collection,, this one has a tale to tell. ⁠ ⁠ It speaks to ways you may have felt when caught up in time, or belief, or snags that seem inescapable. ⁠ ⁠ It also conveys an infinite story, set to music. You know that one... a timeless symphony about life itself. Where we are the pick to the strings of creation; the harmony that would never BE had we not come through to sing it. ⁠ ⁠ We drift. Yet we have purpose. We are. Then we are gone. Such an ephemeral time we have here on this Earth. So... does life have meaning? Or none at all. Who decides?⁠ ⁠ How beautiful and exquisite it all is. Even when we can't see it. ⁠ This image hangs in Stella, the restaurant of the Cedar House Sport Hotel. 24"x48" Custom Metal print

Rain Chains

Truckee, CA Rain chains are kind of magical. When it rains, they fill up to overflowing and water pours through them like a beautiful fountain. ⁠ ⁠ Cedar House loves them - and has several, in special locations on the property.They represent renewal of body, mind and soul... and of replenishment and flow.⁠ ⁠ It's an important story to remember and experience every day. But especially when weathering the storms in our lives. This image hangs in Stella, the restaurant of the Cedar House Sport Hotel. 24"x48" Custom Metal print

Dance of Life

Truckee, CA It seems that every day is a dance. An ever-changing landscape of new steps to learn, old ones to embellish upon, an entire series of moves that when taken together, are like some big crazy musical. ⁠ ⁠ That's life. ⁠ A dance. ⁠ A sway of the hips, of the mind, of creation. ⁠ And light to make the flow of it all so beautiful. ⁠ This image hangs in Stella, the restaurant of the Cedar House Sport Hotel. 24"x48" Custom Metal print

Connections

Truckee, CA This is a divine dichotomy tale about how we are a part of the many, each one of us containing a unique - and quite individual - stamp of divine creation. ⁠ ⁠ There is both a poignancy and responsibility in that understanding... as well as maybe a bit of sadness, hope, relief, joy too... all in the same moment. ⁠ ⁠ Life is full of divine dichotomies. They are exquisite, especially when represented in black and white.⁠ This image hangs in Stella, the restaurant of the Cedar House Sport Hotel. 46"x72" Custom Metal print

Donner Lake On An Autumn Day

Donner Lake, CA A glance, revealing the perfection in all things. Nature never gets tired of reminding us. Developed for Phase 3 of the Cedar House Project.

Bent But Not Beaten

Donner Summit, CA Bristlecone pines never cease to amaze and inspire me. Living for hundreds - sometimes thousands - of years, they adapt to the harshest conditions and seem to laugh in the face of forces that are determined to vanquish. I want to be like them. Developed for Phase 3 of the Cedar House Project.

3 Worlds Away

Donner Summit, CA I've learned so much about Love and Grace in nature. About tenacity, strength and focus too. I sometimes imagine that everything worth knowing I learned from Mother Nature. Developed for Phase 3 of the Cedar House Project.

Standing Tall On the Mountain

Donner Summit, CA Like a mime, a dancer, or a tai chi master... I always imagine the Bristlecone pines on Donner Summit as the perfect expression the grace of living. Of loving. And of never giving up. Developed for Phase 3 of the Cedar House Project.

Brain Tree

Truckee, CA Design by Nature. Developed for Phase 3 of the Cedar House Project.

Overhead, Under Snow

Truckee, CA It feels unreal to be out in a storm. It's like where magic is made. Where danger lies. And where you become one with the elements. You have to stay on your toes. But if you ask, sometimes you'll be shown wondrous things. Developed for Phase 3 of the Cedar House Project.

Gentle

Donner Summit, CA After the storm... gentleness. Developed for Phase 3 of the Cedar House Project.

Little Monks At Water's Edge

Truckee, CA After it snows, I always imagine the snow atop our river rocks as little monk's caps. Weird. But factual. Developed for Phase 3 of the Cedar House Project.

Edge of Sanity

Truckee, CA Because everyone needs at least one "edge of sanity" image in their collection. Are we right side up? Or upside down? Looking at you? Or at you through a mirror? Conundrums. Always conundrums. Developed for Phase 3 of the Cedar House Project.

Ice Rock Feather

Donner Lake, CA Ask questions. Look closely. Listen carefully. Press the shutter when you gasp as what you see. That's how it's done. Photography. And life. Developed for Phase 3 of the Cedar House Project.

Ice, Rock, Feather Too

Donner Lake, CA Gasp. Snap Developed for Phase 3 of the Cedar House Project.

Noir

We usually think of Aspen leaves as either green and quaking... or ethereally golden in autumn. When the color is removed, however... it's almost like seeing their design and beauty in a whole new way. Developed for Phase 3 of the Cedar House Project.

Uddercicle

Truckee, CA Because Mother Nature has a sense of humor. Any other questions? Developed for Phase 3 of the Cedar House Project.

Unbridled

Donner Summit I experience the rush of Awe every time I step out into Nature. Sometimes Mother Nature reciprocates by showing me butts. She keeps it real, that one. Developed for Phase 3 of the Cedar House Project.

Rivers of Mountain

Truckee, CA Sometimes it seems like the mountains pour themselves down, like a river cascading to a better chance at level equilibrium. Admittedly, it happens in slow motion. Over millions of years. Developed for Phase 3 of the Cedar House Project.
