Mini Series Monday #14 - Year in Review

12/28/2015

3 Comments

 
At year's end I always feel 365 days have slipped into the past
with little or nothing tangible to show for their passing,
although I know I was very busy spinning my hamster wheel...  

​So let's look back and see where the time was spent
most memorably - in my own personal estimation.
Picture
The 5th year of my postcard project
is completed - 1040 images to date.

Visits with Mama continue to become simpler... selfies do not.
Picture
Tom always multi-tasks to help me: printing, gardening, being cat-dad...
and the list goes on year 'round.
Nothing would get done without him.

I am grateful for all the garden
design work I was able to do in 2015
​and for all the lovely people I met... Appreciative, but also exhausted.

Another year, another calendar.
(Spelled correctly this time too.)
My definitions of what constitute
GardenScapes continue to evolve.

Looking ahead to the future,
I hope to continue leaving my mark,
​as I am trying to teach the next generation to do in their own way. 

In summary, I suppose a few things got done in 2015,
although the New Year's list is already lengthy - and ever-growing -

so for now I will simply sleep on it all,
and begin again on a fresh new day.

If you really look around you,
​there is plenty to be thankful for...

Family, friends, good health, nature's bounty,
and the beauty that surrounds us every day.

Autumnal Equinox Awakening

9/23/2015

 
The first day of Autumn is done.

The eastern light through my window seemed to promise
a turn in the weather with its scanty shadows,
but as the heat of the day wore on the promise was broken.   

And the gasping leaves clung on for another day.

Mini Series Monday #13 - Hot August Nights

8/31/2015

 
As we wrap up another month that brought us
triple digits and early-season wildfires,
I know I've been waking in the wee hours too often:
anxious, hair damp and head muddled
with random, disconnected thoughts that keep me awake.

And so I have chosen a gallery of night shots
that are open to interpretation under the title theme above -

There have been 31 Hot August Nights,
and whether you see the imminent arrival of an alien invasion
or have the sense that Raymond Chandler was onto something...  

just remember - the summer has not yet peaked for the season
and you can count on more restless nights to come.

    As I See It...
    

    I spend a lot of time on the road and always have a camera with me - hoping to be ready when a serendipitous moment presents itself.

    Here you will find some of the day to day things that 
    may influence my art, news about projects I'm currently working on, as well as occasional musings on art, life and random visual non-sequiturs.
