Crowded

So many bees.
Only one flower.

An orange mark
on history.

Overkill? This spider builds a tent of webbing above a valley of entanglement.
The overnight rain helps us comprehend its complexity.

Know It All

Having an answer to the question of life 

is not the same 

as knowing how to live it.

Volcano of Color

Explosion of light
create a volcano
of color.

2016

Like an ice-core of history,
this fence stacks epochs
of human barriers.

Early summer color gives way to a spectacular day.

A View From Here

As a kid, I would pretend to be a thousand feet tall.
With my camera,
I can turn a patch of winter slush
into a vast river delta.

Lady Bug

Lady-bug

Depth of flow.
Green of life.

The moon breaks free
of the cloud's intentions to block it's light.

Animals don’t hear the things we say; 

they hear the things we mean.

Another Year

Another year of posts
posted.

The sun rises
like an eye
below the cloud
eyebrow.

Jaxon Daily

As an artist and philosopher, I search for the answers, finding them simultaneously in the heart and the head.

Sharing is a passion. This blog is an outlet for my daily need to add something positive to this universe. I use many mediums to tell my varied stories. Here, I will share a daily photo and thought. I might delve deep into the meaning and purpose of life or just point out the obvious and extraordinary with a simple moment. My philosophy is base solely on the idea that life is the opportunity to take power or find love; in the end, we cannot do both.

I spend hours writing my narratives and walking my dogs. While I walk, I watch. When something catches my eye, I capture it. This blog will share the two things I love most in one place. So, enjoy a bit of wisdom coupled with a snapshot of time.

All contents of this blog are my originals. It is amazing what one sees when one walks in no particular direction. Check out my other blogs.

For the fallen in Dallas
and all the casualties.

Today I remember my father on the day of his birth, 

at the hour and minute of his death.

The tiny hairs reach
into the future
in an attempt to procreate.

the once round
cloud.

2015

A new tree 

reaches into the earth next to an old window, 

recently raised in an attempt to preserve our pioneer past.

The fresh concrete insures the roots remain separate from our memories. 

Mountain Moring

Simply a beautiful
mountain morning.

The morning sun
illuminates
the busy

in shapes of fire
across the sky.

I took this photo and realized it looks best upside-down.
Sometimes re-orientating our point of view
adds balance to reflection.

A Question

How long will we
endure this rocky shore
before we bring
this nation
to unity?

2016

The year this
whole thing
started.

2015

All year long we surround ourselves
in the permanent human fireworks
that are our cities.

Arriving

Arriving to work
just a bit late.

The passing form of clouds,
fighting past
the mountain's reach.

This cloud looks like a lion,
roaring with a mouth of light
and a voice so powerful it creates the clouds.

Perfect Morning

Mountain peaks.
Golden sunrise.
Perfect day.

2016

The flower-cluster's form
along with the soft empty space
creates a beautiful
yin-yang shape.

2015

A limb grows into the mass of its body,
holding tight
to form an arch.
