Went walking today
Along my favorite shoreline
As the sun moved low
One of my favorite things is to walk along the waterfront in Edmonds, WA. Tonight I include a few photos I took along the way.

My interest in photography started back in elementary school, and I studied continuously through high-school. The shift from analog/film to digital changed so very much, yet so much remains the same.
A Photo Mediation
As one stares upwards
Admiring ornate art
Expressions in stone
Another image found on Bing (it’s from this website. Really interesting work).
I’ve long admire such stonework. The craftsmanship is exquisite, but I’m even more impressed by the mind the conceived it.

Gazing upon this
Such a cultural symbol
Moments of beauty
Love this photo by Mathieu Rivrin. Check out more of his work here.
Exploring Home
I seek out beauty
The glories of Washington
My ancestors speak
Reflecting From Stone
Staring at myself
Wetted marble captures me
As I seek balance
If you’ve been to Seattle’s Pacific Science Center, you’ve probably noticed the marble sphere balanced upon water. A perfect equilibrium which allows for an ease of motion; it can be shifted with one hand.
Exploring Sandra Bacchi’s “Watermelons Are Not Strawberries”
Sandra Bacchi, a Pittsburgh based photographer and cinematographer I discovered via Edge of Humanity Magazine. Her current project, “Watermelons Are Not Strawberries” stuns me with its beauty.
‘Watermelons Are Not Strawberries’ is a work-in-progress, as I continually seek to better understand myself and increase my awareness of how I react to challenges related to my experiences as a mother. The photos reveal to me how uncertain and obscure my life became with motherhood. At the same time, there is an undeniable clarity in how my daughters lead the way for me to follow a brighter path as I journey through my everyday life.
My favorite image from this collection. I adore how the girl’s dress blends so well with the tree’s summer-lit leaves.
Also check out We Are All In This Together, another of her collections.
I’m experimenting with sharing more than just my poetry. There are so many beautiful things out there which I desire to share. Our world, so filled with ugliness and rage, needs to see more beauty.
Wishing each of you a refreshing and recharging weekend.
A Gem Of Sap
This sparkling gem Summer’s glory is fading Moments of sunlight
Found Flowers
From sun into shade
Purple bursts in the dark green
A break from the sun
Impermanence
I’m struck by the randomness of the clouds, realizing this combination of colors and structure will never exist again. It doesn’t even exist now. A phantom existing only in my memory.
Better photography
Perhaps the best way
To better photography,
Awake to good light
