I keep a close watch on this heart of mineI keep my eyes wide open all the timeI keep the ends out for the tie that bindsBecause you’re mineI walk the line I find it very, very easy to be trueI find myself alone when each day is throughYes, I’ll admit I’m a fool for…

Do my best. Live each day. No regrets.

Lord in heaven above grant us peace and fill our hearts with love.

Chevrolet and Ford taking it easy.

Get your motor runnin’ Head out on the highway Looking for adventure In whatever comes our way

Listen, just listenTo the funky song as I rock onAnd that’s word is bondI’m not playin’Everybody, just coolin’This song we dedicateTo the one and onlyNever be anotherHe was my brother

Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your faceCaesar’s palace, morning glory, silly human race,On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place,If the summer change to winter, yours is no disgrace

Listen to the arguments. Try to understand for yourself why they say what they do. Seek out multiple channels, as many viewpoints as you can tolerate. Then take a break from that. Try not to dwell on it. You’re informed, you have an opinion and can discuss it with others. Fine. So does everyone else.…

This was the day that we brought Sammy home from the shelter to live with us. Can’t say for certain, but I suspect this was the first time he’d ever run freely in the snow. He’s up on the couch now, sleeping.

This image is about color, but also nature. It could be argued that they are one in the same. Do well today.

This is one of those scenes that make me nostalgic for Colorado. I love a big valley in the mountains. We don’t get that here in Indiana. We have gullies. Nothing wrong with them. It’s just a matter of scale. In this image we’re looking northwest and can see US36 winding its way from Lyons…

Birthday party today and another birthday party next week. One is turning nine the other turns ten. I can almost take myself back to when I was nine and then ten. I see my room, my family, friend down the street, my school classroom. I had a radio. These kids have phones. I had favorite…

I went to visit Pat when he lived there. We rode the trains. Uptown, downtown, out of town. Seeing the sights. That day we went to the park. I imagined being there to see the gates, but we were a year or two late.

Four thousand holes in blackburn, lancashire. And though the holes were rather small. They had to count them all. Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the albert hall I’d love to turn you on.

In battle, in the forest, at the precipice in the mountains,On the dark great sea, in the midst of javelins and arrows,In sleep, in confusion, in the depths of shame,The good deeds a man has done before defend him.

To the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

This image from last month’s series on the garden flowers is a favorite of mine. Close-cropped, shape and shadow images are interesting to me. I like to use just enough filters in editing to erase the perfection of detail that modern digital sensors produce. I enjoy pictures where the perfection of detail is present and…

I’ve always liked a picture of a trail in a forest. In this scene the sun is breaking through to paint some light on the trail which makes it look like an inviting place to be.

I took this picture twenty years ago with my Olympus camera. That was back when I was documenting all the neighborhoods of Longmont and this particular one was called Prospect New Town. The houses were expensive and very close together. I guess if it were a summertime scene we wouldn’t see any houses, only a…

One of my favorite subjects is the Westwood Branch Basin Forest. It’s on the west side of the condo and we are its caretakers. There is always a downed branch, a fallen tree or an overgrown wild honeysuckle or grape vine that needs cut up, cut down, chopped down, burned up or otherwise cleaned up…
