inevitability
yes of course there is
inevitability,
will it keep us together
or drive us apart?

hopping a freight
and posing with
old cars

Tom C.- Mexico freight hoppingthat photo is a bit of an optical illusion... it is a cat walk on the top of a tank car... we mostly were in an open top empty gondola car

Jonathan with a Mercury in Ciudad Mante with one of the colorful cars I kept seeing and the boy in the photos was often out on the street and we became friends so he joined in the photo

Jonathan with a Mercury on the street in Ciudad Mante, Mexico-1978..

Jonathan in Ciudad Mante with a DeSoto 1978

Jonathan Fischer, in Ciudad Mante, Mexico 1978 with Chevy ... Mexico like Cuba at this time was a car heaven for 1950 era vehicles!

always now
the moment
blurring

clock face found in the leaves on a bike ride 4-12-14

Looking in to one of the ponds at the Plantations... 4-12-14

In one section of the stream -part of the Susquehanna- it ran through a chute under logs very swift moving and carrying right along some blue sky in a blur...4-11-15

stream winding through woods and fields below the hill the rest area was located on... here was looking down through hemlocks at a pool in the stream...4-11-15

Reflective beauty in a back water pool off of the fast flowing main stream of Six Mile this beautiful Sunday... the winter was a distant memory, long gone, far away today! 4-12-15

is it the prize
of growing older
these vivid dreams
so much more dramatic
then what I do awake

the wind in the trees
reminds me
that what once was
so important
just passes by

A great big cloud formation over Flat Rocks from yesterday ... 4-4-15

branches over head creating a lattice to the sky ...4-4-15

A nest left behind from last year beginning to show through some of the threads and strings from the walk yesterday at the Cornell Botanic Garden.,. 4-04-15

Another pond at Cornell Plantations with ice slowly receding... 4-4-15

Looking through one fence at another fence reflected in a puddle with the sky and clouds 4-4-15

Along the walk a look into a puddle with some mosaic of pine and sky...4-4-15

late in the day the ground warmth was enough that the snow was unable to land there withoutout melting but on surfaces above the ground it was able to stay... that is my theory for this

little evergreen holding onto its snow covering ... 4-4-15

Yesterday at the Botanic Garden ... a look along the upper pathway...4-4-15

Another view of Ithaca Falls with a roaring, raging, torrent of snow melt furiously falling! The force of it all gave off a strong spray laden-ed wind... All the gorges are at high tide

	Aden C on listening to the silence…
	Tom Clausen –… on Homework
	Tom Clausen –… on Standing Here
	Tom Clausen –… on A Work of Love
	Tom Clausen –… on Unraked Leaves
