  • Growth

    Yesterday was very hard. Being in two places at once usually is. With the amount of hugs and kisses that were passed around and around I realized that most of us hadn’t seen each other since late 2019 or very early 2020 when we were locked down. Seeing each other was almost as good as…

  • Spring Equinox

    Equinox. Rebirth. The representation of new life and light, new beginnings, path and seeds. Seeds? Read on. You’ll see. The equinox represents the need for balance because the day and night are equal in length. The first day of spring begins at 5:24 pm EDT. Now the days grow longer as light wins over the…

  • People

    People. Sienfeld says, “They’re the worst.” I disagree. I enjoy working with people. As I work through my archives I’ve discovered a number of unrelated pictures. Odds and ends, you might say. So, I stripped my thinking back to rudimentary subject matter and asked myself what the pictures are about. People. People. People. Everyone of…

  • On Day One

    I don’t know why, last night of all nights, musical miss thought I needed to hear this story. When Ringo Starr went to see and say goodbye to George Harrison in Switzerland where George was so sick from cancer that he could not sit up, Ringo spent some time with him but apologized because he…

  • Mystery of Things

    Tonight is Christmas Eve. This isn’t much of what we believe to be a Christmas picture. But, isn’t it? It’s pretty. (In an urban way) It looks cold. (It was cold) It’s urban. (not country) It was also bright, if I recall. My Christmas gift to myself is the gift of discovery… in my archives.…

  • A Road Not Taken

    I took this road, but I didn’t take the ones that I should have. That’s why I am where I am today. To me, that is seemingly nowhere. I hate to say it, but that’s the truth. I’m scrabbling around for pictures when once a long time ago, I was a real photographer. By the…

  • A Decade Of Nothing

    This is just a picture. I made it roughly a decade ago. I made it on Christmas Eve 2012. I made it at the bonfires on the river near Lutcher, Louisiana. We light the bonfires to guide Papa Noel down the Mississippi River to New Orleans so all the fine people of the city can…

  • Cooler

    I t began today. Cool air. Not exactly cool but very dry. And, the temperature struggled to reach 75 degrees. For us, after our usual very hot summer that included a hurricane and a half this is the start of something very good. Fall. Thankfully.

  • The Between Time

    It started during the pandemic and was enhanced by Delta-x and Hurricane Ida. Memories. They’ve been floating around for days. It was bad enough when time was flexible. Now? Whew. And. Then. The anniversary of Warren Zevon’s passing arrived. You know. The guy who sang “Werewolves of London.” He was so much more than that.…
