The Goldfinch

The Goldfinch When dandelions star the fields Another alien singer, I, Nursed upon England’s flowery wealds, Seeking no tithe of treasured yields, Drop sudden from a summer sky To where the spangled clearing spills Its gold about your timbered hills. A mite in splendid motley clad, I mark […]

It was a Yellow kind of day

Some days begin in the dark, leading to a foggy morning with dew heavy in the air. Today’s journey was to visit the large sunflower fields at McKee-Besheer’s Wildlife Management Area. Well known to local photographers for an outstanding photography opportunity, it was long past due for me […]

Gathering in groups they migrate to the Amazon region in South America in the winter. Returning […]

A Girl and Her Horse

There is nothing like the strength of the bond of love between a girl and her horse. As with many girls, dreaming of having a horse fills their heads day and night. What is inspiring is that the girl’s passion allows her to control a 1,000 pound-plus beast […]

In the Meadow

In the meadow little butterflies drift along. In the meadow the wildflowers are caressed by a gentle breeze. In the meadow the air is filled with bird song. In the meadow little treasures can be found. In the meadow serenity can be found. In the meadow your true […]

Flight Simulator School

Iceman: You two really are cowboys. Maverick: What’s your problem, Kazanski? Iceman: You’re everyone’s problem. That’s because every time you go up in the air, you’re unsafe. I don’t like you because you’re dangerous. Maverick: That’s right! Ice… man. I am dangerous.
