with kansas in mind


Trees are exhibitionists, they like to be photographed, especially right before winter when they shed all their leaves and get naked. Or words to that effect were the inspiration for this tree which seemed to say "Desiree would like to see me".


Inside the landscape meant to designate 'autumny colors' for somewhere very flat the rising mountains of mind loom as the brilliance of an idea bursts in the precise place.


My dear daughter who I hardly photograph any more it seems, the little heart was a bonus as well the light.


Some symbols speak for themselves.


When I saw the dog, looking so old and well, dog-like, it seemed he was the ever watchful guard dog demanding a fare before granting passage to the crossing.


the painter

sunlight designates
appears inside a shadow
stone like a sundial
perfectly placed in the stream
shows artistic stroke of time

Yay, I love that tree! In that picture it looks like the sound of velcro ripping in a quiet classroom.

Love the gatekeeper pooch, too. There's just something about the shadow of the tree in that pic.

She's getting older! I remember her...shorter.
