a toad for kansas


Ah yes, there's the view I'm most familiar with, of the elephant that sprawls like a mountain across a landscape and lets snow shapes dance in the spaces created by the trees.


Desperation requires documentation of all living things of colour still clinging to the branch, bitter like the cold.


Horizon line defines in the mind a place for the eyes to go and discover something under the cover of empty and abstract.


With a minimal amount of information a gesture implied by the tilt of a head personifies a bird.


It is pretty much impossible not to look at the table first. Funny how that works.


This spot, just up behind my house, appears quite accessible, it beckons me to explore it and provides the foothills as it were to Toad Mountain. That's where people discovered a whole lot of silver which pretty much put Nelson on the map about a hundred years ago. JD this one's for you down there in kansas country, just another toad shot to add to the collection.
