Sunrise over Hungry Horse... It's quiet sitting down on the shoreline as the sun cracks the sky of a new day. The ducks swim past, the air is still, sweet scented and calm...

Then you work all day... at whatever you work at... Last week, I spent much of a day building a Stitching Frame for sewing together the signatures of journals and albums...
google has gone the way of microsoft...
Its size and economic power has led it to believe it can do whatever it wishes.
It sees no need to have any regard for its publishers, maintaining integrity, respect or consideration.
It has fully adopted the philosophy of; "It's not personal, it's business." Well... yeah, it IS personal.
That has made it an unpleasant, uncomfortable and risky outfit to have as a business partner...
So... the trail I'll be following is to wean myself from that association over the coming year. Restoring my custom leather shop will be a major focus for the coming months... It's going to be a difficult task, all things considered... but realizing shutting it down in the first place was a great mistake was the hardest part! ;)
Restoring that Shop, in combination with my writing, is where I'll be investing my energies... to provide my subsistence into the future...
Back in the present... At the end of the day, the Montana sun makes it's big show departing for the night...

Late in the day we headed for Glacier National Park... As we left we spied a pair of Osprey with their brood taking an evening meal in their nest on the bank of the reservoir...
Look six trees to the right of the nest... you'll see either Mom or Dad sitting about half way down the left side of the trunk... 'fore I zoomed in...
Up at Glacier... they've already shut down the majority of their camps. The season is rapidly slowing down...
But the show is just getting into high gear as fall comes on in the high country and starts it's run south...
Sunset over Lake McDonald in Glacier... to start off the Fall...

The sun paints its fiery reminder in Glacier as well... that the ability of man to interfere is fleeting... the power of the land to take back what belongs to it... cannot be resisted.
It's a busy fall and winter I've got planned out... gonna be a task to keep it all focused! ;)
Remaining Yet Under the Wide Montana Sky

Beautiful part of the Country. Not sure I understand the use of the frame, but it appears you did an outstanding job building it.
Jerry; A "Signature" is the group of folded papers, 2-10 sheets depending on weight that make up each section.
Then you stack up the signatures to build however big a book your design is.
The signatures of a book block need to be sewn together to form the body of the book. Cords are sewn in across that book block to support the block and provide for attachment to the cover/binding.
The Cords will be held in the two clamping bars on the face of the frame, while the signatures are added and sewn together one at a time onto the growing stack on the shelf. As they are sewn together, you sew around the vertical "cords" that are held by those bars across the front.
It makes perfect sense once you see it... I'll actually be building a leather covered journal/book soon so I'll be photographing maybe even videoing that. ;)
Wow, what the magical views! amazing, Indeed..
