As we age, we can choose to be strong like the boughs of a tree—flexible, bending, and stretching toward the skies while remaining resilient through life’s winds and storms. We can also embody grace and beauty during the calm days, drawing on the wisdom earned through trial and error and the love of those around us….Peace Out!

I was on my way to the Rose Garden to use my Camera Obscura, but the camera fell off the stand so heading home I thought I would video the car drive…..It always puts a smile on my face when I view it….This is a retro from that series. Have a peaceful day

In our backyard Nature’s friends come to visit every evening. They look for bits of food that we feed to our Crow friends during the day. We try not to leave food, but every now and then they find something so they visit for a short time. It is their World...

The first batch of Garlic to be harvested this Summer. More to come…We have been eating our Blueberries and the Currents have been picked and turned in to a jelly for spreading on toast. The Blueberries are mixed with Greek Yogurt and eaten as they come. Welcome to the Garden…”Camera Obscura” Series

As the Summer progresses I will share our Harvest from the garden. This is our first batch of Onions on the drying rack. They will be exposed to the air for a couple of days then stored before being used in delicious stir fries, soups and sandwiches. I hope everyone has a bountiful crop!…”Camera Obscura” Series

Water arising from our birdbath in the herb garden. The sound of water falling on water sooth’s the mind while I gently sway in the hammock. I feel fortunate.

The beauty of the Sun creating a shadow through our window early, early in the morning. To see, feel, and develop the imagination. To travel within the mind to lands unknown and  materialize the manifestation is a joy…”Shadows” Series

Where have you gone? In my heart and mind you are still here. I am still here!….This month, 14 years ago, my father passed. I cannot believe how much time has gone by, but the loss never goes away. It diminishes over time, the sadness and reality of death of a loved one, but the memories are the time machine of good times and bad. It is good to be in touch with our feelings….”Passing” Series

This is Festus our Crow Friend. I speak to him in Crow talk when I have food for him which is twice a day. He has a deformed leg so he hops to go from place to place. Crows are brilliant and I have been talking to and connecting with them for decades..."Camera Obscura" Series

A big thank you to all the folks who visit my site. Each day I am inspired by color, shape and my imagination, which is full of wonder and joy... I know the world is going crazy at the moment and I wish this was not true, but it is. I only hope that sanity and respect for life comes to the forefront of political minds. We can hope, but in the mean time let’s be the best version of who we are and can be. Trying is believing…Peace out!

I like a bit of “Noir”….This simple video created with my "Camera Obscura" has no conclusion, only a process which leaves open, to the viewer, their own conclusion…”Noir” series

This is the third retro image for “what the f” have we done to our Planet…I chose to display animals because I feel they are the innocent, they represent the canary in the mine shaft, as we charge into the future surrounded by disgraceful politicians and greed.

 This is the second retro themed “what the f” are we doing to our Planet….We are besieged by greed fueled by economics and politicians….

This retro image is being reposted because I am in a faze of “what the f” are we doing to our world environmentally and politically…The innocence of our world it slowly being eaten up by greed and stupidity…..

While resting in the hammock the sound of water on water filled the air. I love the sound as it helps me with creative thoughts. The sun shone through the glass bowl creating an undulating silhouette on the gravel. The pleasant sounds of water on water!!

I am reposting this image  because it represents, to me, the nearness of the Summer Solstice. This image reminds me of the magical Twilight that occurs in the evening and the Magic that it stirs in the air. Enjoy Life…...
