University of Montana

Day 2 of being on the campus of University of Montana for Missoula Colony 15. I'm honored to be here among such acclaimed playwrights as Marsha Norman, James McClure, Roger Heddon, Ron Fitzgerald and Lily Award winner Deb Laufer (my dorm-mate), plus a group of fabulous actors and directors.

I continue to be awed by the beauty of this place, with its sunshine, fresh air and starry skies. This is the center of campus (with a better view of the M).

Here are a couple more campus shots, one while walking to the student center and one inside. I imagine all the interior plantscapes are soothing during the long gray winters.

I'll post more about Colony soon, but in the meantime, here's a photo John sent from his morning walk in North Dakota, a place with its own kind of sparse beauty.
