Seasons of Life - Helena, MT

These pictures are in reference to a local man named Wess, who was born in Great Falls, Montana in 1947. I met him during my travels recently and we engaged in lengthy conversations in which he invited me to his property for dinner.
Wess lives on his property on the outskirts of Helena, with his companion, a Jack Russell Terrier, named Henry. His wife of almost 30 years, Terry, passed away in the recent past, leaving Wess with no immediate family, but his companion Henry. He built a small memorial on the property in honor of his wife Terry, which, when I came to his property, he was finishing the construction of.
I had some very good conversations with Wess and we both exchanged words of wisdom with one another. With his permission, I asked to do this project in memory of him and his wife.
