Golden Lacy Light


Golden lights
spreads lacy color.

2017

A red line is drawn
across the canvas.

2016


The simple pleasures
of outdoor play.

2015

The clouds rise as a serpent
 - its head, the sun - 
to challenge the staff of man,

Spring Brings

Spring brings
new life
and new color.

2017


Soft pastel light
showers color
across the sky.

2016


A big fat
rock mouth
with a leafy
tongue.

2015


This fascinates me.

Why would anyone stick a sprinkler in the center of a rock?
Seems like a lot of work.
And for what?
A wet rock?

Goo Monster


Mocha drips
until the
mocha monster
rises.

lights the
golden flower.

When I look at this pic
I see a tiny ship on Mars,
sitting in a valley
in a massive canyon.

Plant Teeth


Red spikes
look like
red teeth.

2017

Dead branches
dance with depth,
perception, and form.

2016

After a morning rain,
the sky clears,
leaven a wet road.

2015

This shot feels
like some alien world of dirt roads.

In reality, they are the traces
of  worms, escaping


the drying sand.

Brown dirt.
Brown limbs.

scratch out
design.

This isn't my front-yard
and probably not yours.
We can only imagine what it's like
to wake each day
with this view.

Black Fence, White Flowers


Dark steel holds
white life captive.

2017


Soft green light surrounds
waiting water drops.

2016


The camera allows us to perceive
what the human eye
does not naturally see.

And it is beautiful.

2015


As the valley recovered from the first storm,
it awaited the next.
In the meantime,
a few clouds hung out.

Orange Sunrise Streak


The morning sun
streaks orange
across the mountain range.

Passing weather obscures
the city center.

This shot feels
almost religious.

2015

Long ago, a street was repaved
and the lines redrawn. 
Before that day, a leaf fell
and left its indelible mark.

Late night.
Shinny light.

2017

Pink spring colors
explode into the
blue sky.

Manipulating aperture
allows for emotional
images.

The colors and tones of morning light
only last for a moment in the eye
but a lifetime in the soul.

One Yellow


One yellow flower
stands out
among the rest.

Clouds flow from the mountain peak
while catching light in its travels.

2016


Light shines from sun to sky,
illuminating the mountain range
and tree limbs.

2015

Some people feel one fence
isn't quite enough.

Spiky Smooth


Spiky red and smooth green
pull lines of color
across the eye.

2017


Not every front-yard
is created the same.

2016


A simple pink rose
sits among green leaves.

Recent snow reminds us
how volatile spring can be.

Big Yellow


Full, yellow moon.
Pink, open sky.

2017

Living so close
to the mountain top
provides quite a view
of everyone below.

The sun attempts to penetrate
the thick fog
of morning.

A beautiful bouquet of tulips.

Cactus Man


Arms raised,
the cactus man
waves for attention.

Bright color
sprinkles light
across the canvas.

2016


A nineteenth-century wagon wheel
is pitted with age
and wired lines.

2015


What exactly happened here?
Where are all the tulip heads?
What exactly did that tree do?
One can only speculate as to the details
of this tulip tragedy.

Focus on the flower
causes a fuzzy fence.

Golden branches of spring
reach towards
the mountain
peak.

Tis the season
for colorful
lawn art.

Head, crazy arms, and what appears
to be a crazy set of horns.
Yeah, another secret tree monster,
hiding in plain sight.
