A few months ago I was contacted by Susie Graetz who is the Managing Editor of the University of Montana’s Crown of the Continent and Greater Yellowstone e-Magazine, Susie wanted to feature my photos taken at Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge<\/span><\/a> in the Art section of the magazine and I was sincerely honored by her request.<\/p>\n

Colorful sunset at the Lower Lake of Red Rock Lakes NWR, Centennial Valley, Beaverhead County, Montana<\/p><\/div>\n

Susie wasn’t sure how she came to find my website but she was taken by my work. In her words:<\/p>\n

I am so taken with your natural point of view, your lively prose, photos, love of the land and your subjects, and your passion for taking care of the incredible landscapes we work in. You truly are a breath of fresh air.<\/em><\/p>\n

Susie sent me a mock up of what she wanted to share with the readers of the Crown of the Continent and Greater Yellowstone e-Magazine which included photos I have taken on the refuge and snippets of what I have written from posts I have done on my journeys to the refuge.<\/p>\n

The magazine can be viewed and downloaded from here<\/span><\/a>. I typically don’t announce publication of my work on my website but I am so honored to have my work included in Crown of the Continent and Greater Yellowstone e-Magazine that I decided to share this with my family, friends and all of the people who view my site.<\/p>\n

I’m certain that those who view this edition of the Crown of the Continent and Greater Yellowstone e-Magazine will also enjoy the other fine articles in this publication, I know I certainly did. If you would like a free subscription please send an email to susie.graetz@mso.umt.edu<\/span><\/a> and Susie will put you on their list.<\/p>\n

Susie and her husband Rick Graetz are writers, photographers, publishers, and adventurers. Together they have written over 30 books<\/span> about their love of Montana and of many other locations. This link<\/span><\/a> includes some of those books.<\/p>\n

Susie, thank you for featuring my work, I love how it turned out!<\/p>\n
