A light-hearted, full-color, captioned Photo Book that tells the story of the wilderness travels of Miss Penny, the beloved thirty pound miniature Australian Shepherd hiking companion dog of Artist, Author, Photographer and Backpacker Jimmy Lange. After a decade of courageously exploring some of the most remote and pristine mountain backcountry of Colorado and the Rocky Mountain West, including Grizzly Country in Wyoming, Montana and British Columbia, Canada, as well as the desert Canyon Country of southern Utah, Miss Penny's message to us all is "You are probably a lot smarter, a lot more capable and much stronger than you could imagine...you are bigger than you think!" Ninety full-color pages, including more than 80 photos with captions, take the reader to wild & beautiful scenes in the Rocky Mountain West, such as Wyoming's Wind River Range, the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia and the land of the Great Bear near Yelowstone National Park. In the winter off season, go south with Miss Penny to explore remote desert canyons near Moab, Utah while hiking beneath colorful and breathtaking canyon walls stained with desert varnish. Perfect for dog and nature lovers of any age, this is the story of a brave little dog taking on some very BIG country...and doing it all with courage, heart and a tenacity that we can't help but admire, perhaps in some small way encouraging all of us to also look out and beyond what we might see as our own limits...to seek new adventures and life-giving experiences beyond our everyday, seemingly small existence. It's a big world out there and, as Miss Penny says, "You are bigger than you think!" This is the first book in a series of upcoming titles by Author / Watercolor Artist / Nature Photographer Jimmy Lange as he documents his many years of backpacking ( always solo with just his dog ) in untouched, non-trailed, deep mountain wilderness. 90 Full-Color Pages (more than 80 Color Photos) / Perfect Bound Softcover 8.5" X 8.5" Retail Price $19.95
Jimmy Lange is an Artist, Musician, Author and Photographer who has spent his entire adult life exploring the wildest corners of the Rocky Mountain West he can find. Traveling almost exclusively off-trail in deep wilderness, all alone except for the company of his dog, most recently his miniature Australian Shepherd and cherished hiking companion, Miss Penny, Jimmy has roamed for 45 years throughout some of the most pristine and untouched wild lands in the West. His company 12 DAYS PUBLISHING COMPANY ( www.12dayspublishing.com ) is currently engaged in the publication of several more titles, including "TWELVE DAYS OF PEACE - An Artist's Personal Journey To Nature And The Serenity Of Wilderness"...this 116 page hardcover book will feature 24 insightful and thought-provoking Personal Essays, 28 beautiful Original Watercolor Paintings and 70 Color Photographs. This calming and visually-appealing work invites us to slow down, unplug and remember the joy of simpler things while peering through this alluring window into the serenity of wilderness. As a self-taught Watercolor Artist, Jimmy's style is at once quite detailed yet personally expressive, with the play of light on the landscape being a primary focus in his work. Jimmy has traveled the country, invited to participate in juried art shows, and his works grace the walls of numerous private collections. Also an accomplished Soft-Pastel Artist, the upcoming book " TWELVE DAYS IN CANYON COUNTRY - An Artist's Personal Journey To The Red Rock Solitude Of Southern Utah" will feature more than two-dozen of his richly colored pastel paintings, depicting rarely-seen vignettes from the American Southwest . As a working artist of over four decades, Jimmy Lange is excited to share his passion for both his creative works as well as the Great American Wilderness that has brought him such joy and artistic inspiration over the years. Jimmy's personal philosophy includes the belief that we often impose upon ourselves needless limitations, some of which can lead to regrets in later years. He encourages us all to break free of our "comfort zone", at least occasionally, and to seek out those things that truly feed our soul. It may not always be easy, but it will certainly have been worth the effort.
