The Last Leaf
Now that winter weather is here, the dynamic of the last leaf comes into play for those of us who wander in the cold with a camera and a dog. I am lucky that Ivan stays still when I get ready to shoot. If I were a last leaf, I might be this one, brightContinue reading “The Last Leaf”
Hold This Moment…
I drove 300 miles yesterday, about 270 miles over my self-imposed limit for one day. But near the end of this trip with the November sun on the horizon shooting shafts of bright light into my eyes–I had on dark sunglasses–the song came on the car radio: “I’m Your Captain” by Grand Funk Railroad.

This particular tree is so tall I can’t set the top when sitting down–itContinue reading “The Redwood Tree”

On most mornings I walk to the local lagoon to see wildlife and the fog. Yesterday, with Ivan on leash, egrets sailed overhead while I stood on lagoon’s edge. Clicked the camera while the Moody Blues’ “Nights in White Satin” blared away from a camper van in the parking lot, about thirty feet away. TheContinue reading “The Local Lagoon”
Aging isn’t in the mirror
Didn’t know what it was like to be old until I was. Aging isn’t in the mirror. I am who I am at this moment, not last year, or last century. If there’s a tomorrow, I’ll get that After too many decades trying to be what I imagined I should be. The trick was understandingContinue reading “Aging isn’t in the mirror”
