the shadow of a young pine
across an old house.

with the help of a barren tree.

A family portrait, cast in shadow. Jupiter Juice (my rotty), me in the center, and India (my pit-weiler) on the right. India is the biological daughter of Jupiter. When I brought her home at a few weeks old, she sniffed the carpet, her tail began to wag a million miles an hour, and the two played as if they had never been apart. She knew instantly she was home and he knew she was his little girl. To be honest, she bullies him a bit more than I like but everyday I thank the universe for them.

Like this flag,
stressed to the point
of tearing apart,
America feels
the GOP effect.

Donald Chump Treasure
speculated how the GOP
might profit from the Donald
by spitting him out.

Instead, they swallowed.

Brief Moments

Finding the perfect moment to shoot the sky is impossible. 

One must simply shoot, hope for the best, and then shoot again and again. 

Sometimes, the effort is rewarded with a golden second, saved for eternity.

I took this from the spot
the first officer of the law
died on duty
this year.

I know those who knew him.
I call friend the sole,
injured survivor.

There is a majesty
to the heart,
willing to put it all
on the line.

The Rent is Due

When will the crisis in the Crimea end? Ukraine owes Russia many rubles for energy. How many does Russia owe in rent for their occupation of the Crimea? Will this fact become a bridge or a wedge?

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.

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.
