walking near the shore
under the autumnal dusk
glorious colors

poetry, prose, and photography
walking near the shore
under the autumnal dusk
glorious colors


evening rainfall
flowing from a day of rain
into a calm night
Twas a rain filled day. Shifting between downpours, mists, and even a few moments of dryness with dark clouds
Crafted this image on Canva. I thought this font was fun. (It’s called Tan Pearl if you’re curious.)
I hope this finds you well.


the abyssโ edge
I finally stare within
seeing myself stare back

the newest of nights
moon rises above the trees
fresh ink upon my page
This came to me as I was winding down for bed last night.
I hope each of you has a wonderful week.


with forests ablaze
reddened skies through tall firs
the birds go silent

at the dayโs ending
sunlight fades into the sea
gentle grace of night

with my morning tea
the gentlest of breezes
sunlight through the clouds
I love calm mornings. Today, Seattle’s weather seems to be pivoting from rain to partially cloudy. Blue skies punctuated with white clouds. Summer’s heat abated, whether temporarily or for the rest of the year is uncertain, but I’ll take the respite.

orange and red leaves
as i gaze out my window
glories of autumn
The maple just outside my office window already shows autumn colors. Of course, September approaches quickly. Less than a week (Sunday) brings the new month. As tempting as it might be to make some reference to the passing of time, it doesn’t feel very creative.
