Eye Candy
Each day I search for images to capture, Leave backyard stoop, leashed Bandit by my side, One never knows when glance will be enraptured, By boundless wonders, as we reach our stride. One merely has to stop and smell the roses (though blooming season’s… Continue Reading “Eye Candy”
Stars of Sugar Gum
When autumn eves turn into golden days, Fast falling leaves abound on grassy plains, So much that calloused palms brush them away, No sooner swept aside, resumes the rain. And slight distracted through the sinewed branches, To waves of green ‘gainst cloudless, azure skies,… Continue Reading “Stars of Sugar Gum”
Happy Trails
Excitement builds, as darkness settles in, Once sweltering sun dips low as day is done, From o’er the dark the opening strains begin, Repeated ritual calling us again. The sprawling barge lights with their sweet refrains, Sail slowly ‘cross the languorous lagoon, And we,… Continue Reading “Happy Trails”
Happy Anniversary

Land…(sea)…scape
The window opened wide as it will go, Allowing sea salt air into my room, Whilst verdant sentries stalwart, toe to toe, Rustling regal guards that breathe “Hello”! Photo Friday: Landscape 2016 This  week’s prompt reminded me of that summer morning several weeks ago as… Continue Reading “Land…(sea)…scape”
Golden Gallery
Rather than wax poetic about the drama and warmth of golden-hued photography, I present, instead, a gallery of miscellaneous archived photos that speak for themselves. Photo Friday: Golden
Camofoliaged
As limbs rise skyward, ever seeking light, One stands in awe at Mother Nature’s shears, Though likened to a bonsai, man-made sight, Intrinsic beauty crafted through the years. Yet deep beneath the foliage, hid from fear, Some denizens depending to subsist, Within a secret… Continue Reading “Camofoliaged”
