City Scene
How much is too much? When you can hear your neighbors through the walls, floor and ceiling, or, miss the liberty of driving a car on an open road to escape the chaos of a congested urban environment, or, struggle to clearly recall what a forest trail looks like, or, often find yourself thinking about life in a quiet countryside setting…perhaps it’s time to move.
In the meantime, you might enjoy my digital artwork as a reminder. It’s available on a variety of products when you visit any of the following shops…

Poem in Response
After reading “Golden Pink Gone“, written by the talented and lovely Arizonian poetess, Michele Lee – wherein her happiness stems from an admiration of beauty and peacefulness (rather than the frivolous), sharing photographs of local sights – I was inspired to write this poem…
The time you take to share
With steady gait, to reminisce
A beauty that’s alive
Your town, in hues of golden bliss© 2022 Phil Perkins

Flashback September 25, 2021
I had just finished reading “Heart Beats on a City Street“, written by Michele Lee – a lovely author and poetess hailing from the Sonoran Desert of Arizona – when I saw a picture of her taking a photograph at night in the city.
Having observed images posted on her site, Michele looks wonderful wearing blue jeans! I alluded to such in my comments responding to her cited writing, above, to which she noted, “Maybe Levi’s will endorse my site.”
Her remark inspired me to write this storyline for a hypothetical Levi Strauss blue jeans commercial, subsequently pitched to the company:
Imagine…it’s nighttime on a poorly lit street, with a steady pulse of background sounds from the city and steam wafting from manhole covers. The camera pans left, stopping to focus on the shadowy silhouette of a beautiful blonde woman wearing a cowgirl hat and boots, black top, and, yes, a pair of well-fitting Levi’s. She slowly saunters forward under a dim streetlight, when suddenly – the crashing sound of a metal trash can lid hitting the pavement! She makes a quick quarter-turn, drawing her DSLR camera as if it were a gun from a holster, and snaps a shot of a cat racing away with fish bones clenched in its teeth. The camera zooms in for a close-up scene of her face, as she remarks, “Here’s looking at you, cat”. She raises her camera, winks to the TV camera, and, resembling a gun having been fired, blows the smoke away from her lens. Then, Levi’s runs their slogan on-screen, perhaps in conjunction with the camera maker.
