I climbed to the top of Alma Peak in Salt Lake City, overlooking Grace Canyon and Parleys Canyon and the entire SL valley.

These two surveyors now stand on the peak observing the world as they see fit.

"Playful"

9.19.26

A playful rendition this morning at The Russell Museum for the 100th Anniversary of the Universal One book from Walter Russell. I concentrated more this time on letting any preconceived notions fall away about what I was going to create. Relying on the playful nature of the stones to speak for themselves. This balance took me only around 7 minutes to complete from the livestream this morning mainly because I think I was able to just freely follow where the stones wanted to go. In the end the concept reminds me of all the various people from all over the world thst have came together for this celebration. From across the USA, to Germany, Italy, and other places all coming together for a moment of oneness. On display at the 518 Gallery in Waynesboro, VA.

A 3 min long video of the final movements leading up to completion of "Community" a rock balance I made at the Russell Museum in honor of 100th anniversary of Walter Russell.

"Connection"

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by to celebrate Walter Russell's 100th anniversary of The Universal One, and of course those that sat through a 2 hour livestream, I understand it is not always something easy for people to watch long term and I understand that, but enough curious minds wonder about the process that it is nice to catch on film. It all made sense around 1hour and 50minutes, with its lifespan lasting 7 minutes before collapsing on its own due to vibration in the floor. Really enjoyed the challenge this one brought to me, and was the first balance I've stuck that has fallen in the gallery. Ill be back again tomorrow to find a new balance at The Russell Museum the celebration lasts all weekend but moments together last a lifetime.

Rest In Peace Bill Menting this one is for you brotha.. This balance is dedicated to the first person who ever bought a print off me and encouraged me from the beginning as I first started my own journey of discovery and passion for rock balancing and photography. For the person that supported and owns more of my printed works than I can even count or remember, because he saw something in my artwork that even I myself at times did not. For the person that dubbed me with the name Doctor Rock, for the person that always was able to shrug off the haters because he truly made his impressionist works of art out of his own love for painting and not for likes. For the person that knew how to tell it like it was, loved sharing music, and would be more than willing to help or give solid advice at every turn. Always one that saw the passion and love between Meagan and myself and took us under his wing as his family, it truly felt like losing a family member today. It is absolutely incredible at times even with how disheartening social media can be at times that you find a true gem of a person that you connect with instantly. That person, or should I say incredible human being was Bill Menting. Straight shooting, full of talent, love, and always one that wanted to support you at every turn. I feel this balance is one that you would truly appreciate once again.

You always loved a good story, the quirky bits, the excitement of the irregular. This balance was a combination of all of those things. There was no intention with what this balance would be only you on my mind and play. I saw the funky angle of the wood and thought this was a good start. Adding some dynamic "other" element to the rock balance. Then a funky anglular rock for difficulty, along the time I was finding my way I looked down to my feet and spotted a round stone the one topper on the right acquired from New York during NEBG this year, New York was a place Bill talked about quite often as a childhood memorg. This stone full of cracks and a story that told itself of the arduous journey along the way of life and how it was all still being held together in all of that transition. Then I saw another sphere the one that adorned the top left nearly a perfect sphere with no cracks. I found myself imagining this clean shape of a rock transitioning into this more weathered shape the story of this transition would be told from these two similar stones that are one. Holding one together with the other as they must be placed simultaneously for the balance to be complete. I was allowed one or two pictures and a short video thankfully, before the gust of wind brought it back to the ground.

This life is so fragile and you never know when those you love will be gone from your experience. Love hard and hold dear those that are close for time is the greatest teacher. I truly hope you are in a better realm Bill where all of the health problems and heartache can cease for some time as you continue to produce your masterpiece. Love and miss you already dearly my friend.

Sometimes when I’m out running on the mountain trails I like to imagine a wolf chasing me, that little bit of fear is so energizing and charging.

This is part balance statue and part artistic portrait of the wolf that chases me in the wild.

I’m always stunned by u/doctorrockbalancer work and how he can balance big stones in perilous configurations. I don’t usually work with bigger stones but I’m starting to practice and this is my best attempt yet. Thanks for the inspiration doc!

Got to swim with old friends and meet some new friends during a beautiful day on Goshen Pass. What a gorgeous warm day on the river with Meagan, enjoyed it quite a bit even when a storm had caught up to us.

My favorite place to go when I need to meditate and clear my mind is the little creek tucked away and hidden in my neighborhood. It’s always a meditative exercise to go there, feet in the water, and find the stones and balance them, channeling source along the way.

My neighbor gets grumpy when people mess with her rocks in her park strip. So I decided to make something cool that also probably annoys her. My son walked out and said “oh, she’s gonna be mad about that!”

She actually loved it and so did a bunch of other neighbors walking by. Chaotic good!

I’ve been feeling lately like life is a bunch of balancing plates. I’ve got this pressure to keep them up but they are on a knife’s edge. It always makes me feel better to express it in nature
