getting away
from it all
to find some distance
from the cost of living
that keeps going up…

'remember what the dormouse said... feed your head'

feed your head’

the hypnotist
describes her technique
sound of the stream

scribbling

the inquisitive stranger

priceless-
a poor night’s sleep

standing here just watching
the spring sun sparkle
on the water
what is it they say about
living life to the fullest

for miles nothing but the lake and mountains...

for miles
nothing but the lake
and mountains…

another day
a few birds fly
across the sunset

a glance above into the story of autumn colors

a glance above
into the story
of autumn colors
