On a cold, snowy, December day, along with our Navajo guide, we drove as far as possible into Canyon Del Muerto, in the Canyon De Chelly National Monument. These are the ruins that eerily looked out over the valley reminding us of the storied history of these unusual, red-rock canyons. For Sale. $7000. Available at Settlers West Gallery, 6420 N.

While visiting friends near Seeley Lake, Montana, we often walked a country, dirt road not too far from their cabin. This tattered barn sat so very visibly “center stage” at the edge of the road, punctuating a small pasture. This late, fall afternoon there was a dusting of snow on the distant Swan Range, and the angles of the shadows, fenceline and irrigation ditch all seemed to point and call attention to this once active part of the ranch. A few, late blooming, lavender asters garnish the setting like a decorative picture frame. For sale $3000.
