Shortly after arriving in the Salt Lake valley, this remarkable pioneer woman saddled her horse and rode south to what is now the Millcreek area. She found a clear, flowing spring on a gentle mountain slope and carved out her homestead there. All we have are descriptions of her farm from journal entries today … this is my rendition of how it may have looked back then.<br />

He actually got a couple of them while I was gone and before I could protect them. Though it was not fun to lose those two birds, it was quite an experience to watch this majestic bird soring above our neighborhood and perched atop the light poles in our backyard.<br />

I do not know the name of the photographer, but I saw it up in Montana in a restaurant. I was on a fly fishing trip up there in October and actually saw a cowboy with a calf across his saddle in a blizzard on the Sitz Bull Ranch. I just had to come home and paint it! I call it "Rescue".<br />

Though it was early June, he recalls that they still had to break a little ice away from the edges of the river before entering … brrrrr!<br />
<br />
Last year, we took dad back home and enjoyed hearing his first hand accounts of his Star Valley childhood. Our grandchildren were glued to his every word as we visited cemetaries, homesteads, and the new LDS temple in Afton. Though the site of his baptism doesn't look the same anymore, he was able to describe it enough for me to attempt to put this sacred experience on canvas. I am sure it is not entirely accurate, but it portrays the event and secures its memory.<br />
