my wife asks what
it is I want-
there it is, that question
that not even I
can answer

Buena Vista from the Blue Ridge Parkway

Northwest Territories, photography, poetry, reflections

 

everything left behind…
the summer canoe trip
once in a lifetime

out on the lake we glide through the clouds...

out on the lake
we glide through
the clouds…

North West Territories, photography, poetry

 

empty ring of stones..
we gather firewood
and our thoughts

campsite... the walk to see the here and now again

the here and now again

checking the map…
just when I thought
I was lost

goldenrod, light, photography, poetry, snow, sun, winter

in a single digit moment
the beauty of a bent goldenrod

photography, poetry, sky, trees

revealed so long
this grain of wood
on our floor-
the distance yet
we have to go

out for a walk to see what I could see... these trees

out for a walk
to see what I could see…
these trees
