Passing Shot: South Lake Tahoe's Zephyr Cove - Douglas County Nevada

Ascending the mountainside to reach hole 15 at the Zephyr Cove Disc Golf Course is a rewarding challenge. Hiking to an elevation of 6,348 feet above sea level with a 30 pound pack requires a steady pace of confident foot placement and intermittent stops for water and an intake of the views.

Stella works hard to keep the neighborhood vermin and feral cats away from our home and garden. She remains vigilant, even while sleeping.

Every artist has a muse and every muse, an artist. Mine are dressed in yellow and green. Sunflowers continue to bloom this week in the garden with stunningly brilliant perfection.

Flower Power: A New Alternative Energy

I paused between harvesting berries and thinning carrots this morning to admire the progress of this volunteer Sunflower’s growth. We plant the beauties along the fence line as a decorative heat deflecting measure and partial shade for our lettuce.
The errant seeds that germinate in random places in our yard are welcomed surprises.

Passing Shots: Newport Rhode Island

Passing Shots: A Weekend in Rhode Island

A budding tree holds ground amid blooming daffodils in Newport Rhode Island. I pause mid-step on the Cliff Walk just long enough to catch a balanced shot.

Poetry for Guitar: Picture Postcard Lullabys

I went travelling down a long paved road

listening to the radio playing

I heard a song about a white winged dove singing.

There were shore lined miles of open sky

A picture postcard lullaby

the mocking bird just could not sing

so I was trying.

I watched the golden hills roll by me

A speed limit sign read forty-five

But I felt

like I was flying.
