The Goldfinch
I hear the Goldfinch, and then I try, To imagine the world, from a birds eye. All through the day, up on the wing, Oh, what joy, to hear her sing. On wet summer days, you’ll hear me sigh, Where is my friend, from way on high? They […]

Project 365/351 – In the Rain
Well I did it. I went and dropped my beautiful new awesome Canon 5D Mark III. Remember when I was at Longwood Gardens before Christmas? Using a Manfrotto tripod with a quick release plate, I was taking my camera on and off the tripod a few times. This […]
Project 365/313 – Fallen
The Leaves The leaves had a wonderful frolic. They danced to the wind’s loud song. They whirled, and they floated, and scampered. They circled and flew along. The moon saw the little leaves dancing. Each looked like a small brown bird. The man in the moon smiled and […]
Project 365/229 – Along a Country Road
A short road trip to Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania was planned today for a business luncheon. In the outskirts of town, on a windy country road we arrived to the restaurant. As luck would have it, I had the forethought to throw my Canon G12 into the car. Hoping to […]
