Beautiful Art by Jeffrey Craven

Came across this very talented artist awhile back, but was reminded of him as he was featured in

a recent issue of Big Sky Journal. I am always fond of artists with skills of in watercolors and oil. In addition Jeffrey Craven resides in Ririe, ID, just outside of Idaho Falls on the South Fork of the Snake.

Seattle Sights

Will be headed to Seattle in a few weeks, can't wait, as it is one of my favorite places walk around and see. Always so many photo opportunities, great micro brews and great sushi. The market is pretty cool place to cruise around and check out too.

Sure wish I was headed over to Forks, to cast to a few chromers while I was out there, sure do miss

fishing for Steel this year. 

" Soul of a City "

Every so often Yeti puts out another gem amidst the plethora of real nice videos shorts

that they put out every three weeks or so. Soul of a City is a good down home story of an

eclectic artisan, Evan Voyles. Yeti shares his store of a lost art of neon sign building, oh, so cool.
