Tending the Line II

I happened across these snow formations while following a coyote’s trail in the Mt Hood Wilderness Area. A stream gurgled beneath this surreal landscape of symmetrical banks and humps, and clearly this was an edge of the coyote’s home territory, so I’ve named the scene Tending the Line.

All creeks and rivers flowing from the Mt Hood Wilderness are part of the Columbia River watershed. The Columbia was once a truly unique American river that supported the largest wild run of Chinook salmon in the world. Human encroachment has irrevocable altered the Columbia system but we can still save many other Oregon rivers that contain viable but threatened salmon habitat.

To that end, all proceeds from the sale of my work are donated to Oregon Trout, a statewide conservation group working to restore freshwater health and habitat through innovation and education.
