Metal Cactus Symbol

I saw this little
cactus symbol
etched in a
thick metal plate.

Out of the Shadow

Growing up, I never had an expectation of privacy. 
Why? 
My mother did her job and wouldn't allow it. 
Now, I live without the fear of being found out 
because I hide nothing.

The beautiful warm colors
of early morning.

Light Metal Shadow

This is an experiment
with  new lens.
Hand-held.
Low-light.

I have walked past this pole for many years.
Today, I saw the flowers for the first time.

Rusty Iron Focus

A simple view
of a simple
farm implement.

You call it work,

I call it my dream.

The shape and color
suggests summer.

The tiny limb reaches out
to try a new flower.

The simple pleasures
of outdoor play.

The clouds rise as a serpent

 - its head, the sun - 

to challenge the staff of man, 

Rock Mouth

A big fat
rock mouth
with a leafy
tongue.

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?

Tiny Marian Wooden Ship

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

Life is chemical.

Clearing Sky

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

This shot feels
like some alien world of dirt roads.

In reality, they are the traces
of  worms, escaping
the drying sand.

Shadow Lines

Shadow lines
scratch out
design.

Unconstitutional Action Vs Justice Garland

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.

Soft-Focus Buds

The camera allows us to perceive
what the human eye
cannot 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.

Long ago, a street was repaved and the lines redrawn. 

On that day, a leaf fell and left its indelible mark.

Chain-Link Fence Painting

Manipulating aperture
allows for emotional
images.

2015

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

Sunrise Mountain Tree

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

2015

Some people feel one fence
isn't quite enough.

Simple Pink Rose

A simple pink rose
sits among green leaves.

2015

Recent snow reminds us
how volatile spring can be.
