Ghostly Form

A close up of wood
becomes ghostly
forms.

Spring jumps out at us
with the colors
and tones of new life.

Farming Implements

The implements of agriculture
are violent in their form.

When it comes to upgrading technology, 
the mistake is never that you waited too long to upgrade 
but that you never turned that gadget into a tool. 

Is it more important to have the absolute best of today 
or to know how to maximize what you have?

Seasons fight over lines
of changing position.

Love: 

instead of paying to get something, 

pay to give something. 

Foggy Morning Coffee

Pure wisdom of the practiced ritual
of fluid fuel to combat
the morning fog.

When my eyes stop moving, 
the world disappears.

Metal Lines of Light

Hard lines of light,
rusty edges of metal.

Feeling healthy is always good 
but not everything 
that feels good 
is healthy.

White Flowers

The soft, sweet color
of the season.

because an authentic truth 
cannot be framed with confidence.

Everyone and everything
makes their living
in sales.

From the right angle,
this old piece of wood momentarily reaches out
with its sharp beak, tiny eye, splintered arm, single foot, and slithering tail.

Transition

New life reaches forth
from beyond the past year's evidence.
Spring is here!

This shot was taken this morning, the first day of spring.

The West explodes into the season with uncanny punctuality.

only the truth of my experience.

Childhood Flight

While walking the dogs,
I often find objects.
Hoping the child who lost this
vessel of flight's imagination
will find it again,
I left it here.

Living for the moment is very different from living every moment. 
We are not always happy but we can choose 
to be present, mindful, and participate with intention.

Thin high clouds pull lines
of light from behind the
dark mountain.

between background and foreground.

Stuck Apple

Long ago this apple fell,
right onto the wire.
Stuck, it stayed
and rotted.

The cool colors of morning's first light, 

warming from beyond the mountain range,

mingling with the man-made sparkles of night.

Found Object

People find religion
to protect them from
the darkness and provide
the light.

Faith appears as a shinning beauty
in this cold, dark world.
But like this icon,
it is man-made.

2015

Like two lips,
the mountain blows
visible steam from within.

The tree's shadow
sprawls across
the crusty snow.

A pine tree that looks
like the classic wave.

Facing the Sun

A sunflower
facing the sun.

Construction of a local baseball field
created these two stacks of chain-link fence parts,
new temporarily stacked next to old.

the local weatherman featured this one
in his afternoon broadcast.

Spreading Sky

From here,
it all appears
to be going
one way.

Flowers coming,
opening,
tasting.

Sometimes songs sound better
when I don't know the words.

Reflected Street-light

A soft painting of light,
reflection, ice, and shadow.

Like the small stream,
the small spike moves through time,
bound by limits.
Sometimes, living with commonsense limits
can be beautiful.
