Shore Lines of Sight
Two shorelines clinging close to “Brightwood” lake, And wait so I may choose which path to take, For on the left a fisher-person’s dream, Sure footing, toss my line into the stream, But on the right a picnic spot awaits, And marshy coves where… Continue Reading “Shore Lines of Sight”
Hanalei Rainbow (Photo Friday: Paradise)
Photo Friday: Paradise This was taken overlooking Hanalei Bay, Kauai. Rainbows are commonplace here, but we never grew tired of spotting one (and of course, taking a picture). These islands are truly “Paradise”.
Night Visitors

Depth of Field, A Gallery of Favorites
A gallery of my photographs that utilize depth of field to focus on and accentuate the subject. From macro shots of flowers in bloom, blurring surrounding foliage and contrasting vines into the background, to goldfinch pairs busily attacking a backyard feed, and finally to… Continue Reading “Depth of Field, A Gallery of Favorites”
Unrestrained. (Photo Friday: Metal)
This photograph was taken last week while I was touring the Jardín Botánico y Cultural de Caguas, Puerto Rico. It’s amazing to consider that centuries before the birth of Christ, The indigenous peoples of Puerto Rico, represented by this Taino Indian, were living… Continue Reading “Unrestrained.
