frog pond- so many leaps of faith
frog pond...
frog pond.-
frog pond-
frog twangs off and on around the little pool... 6-6-16
frog eyes just above the water line ...
frog eyes looking back...
frog floats on the surface...
frog holding on
frog in a frog pond...
frog in a small puddle pond off Pine Tree Rd...
frog in puddle off Pine Tree Rd.
frog life -
frog life today... watching and waiting
frog life

asked to arrange
the flowers in a vase
I put them in any which way-
so glad there are some things
which can’t go wrong

Rhode Island time it takes to find a peace of mind somewhere...
Rhode Island fishing trawler...
seaside surf line at Rhode Island -Roger Wheeler Beach...
walking the surf line in Rhode Island...
gold surf wash...
touched with light

chain dripping a thick fog which made for a great atmosphere to explore the docks of Point Judith-Galilee 5-31-15
bird with a bit of sunset in the surf
sunset gold just before night takes it away...
walking the surf line...
ebbing light scenes along the surf-tide line at Roger Wheeler State Beach- 5-20-15
Berta leaving tracks in the Rhode Island beach sand strolling along listening to waves and shorebirds and nothingness...5-20-15...
