Shots From the Trail
Prints available. This vintage, autumn photograph of waves on Lake Superior was taken in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, near the city of Marquette, on the beach at Little Presque Isle.
Prints available. This scene features the shadows of trees, pointing up a paved mountain trail, as I hiked to Look Rock Tower – located along the Foothills Parkway near Townsend, Tennessee.
Prints available. With the Smoky Mountains in the distance, morning fog envelopes the town of Wears Valley, below, as cloud cover above appears foreboding and pronounced in black and white.

Poem
Reflections from this morning…
Two lines in time
Reflect as one
Forevermore

Tracks Through Time
Sound from a distant whistle pierces the silence of night, as a growing thunder of steel travels on tracks through time, slowing near town. People are asleep in bed, dreaming while the train rolls on rails, carrying the faint rhythm of a harmonica flowing free from an open boxcar. The song remains the same, as all sound slips slowly back into darkness, down the line.

Poem in Response
After enjoying “Rusty Rose“, a wonderfully creative mixed media artwork by my dear friend, Tiffany Arp-Daleo, a Bohemiam Abstract artist residing in San Diego, California – and, knowing that she also enjoys the Grateful Dead – I was inspired to write this poem in response…
Just like San Diego 🎨
Just like old road trip shows 😎
Your art sings like Jerry 🎶

Vintage Glass
In my youth, I removed these old glass bottles from the earth using sticks and sharp-edged rocks as digging implements. Today, I continue to admire the beauty and unique imperfections inherent in each.
Can you dig it?
If so, you can uncover wonderful prints in these shops…Pixels, ArtPal and Zazzle.
