Ever-smiling, rust and vine
My face a chronicle of passing time
Still, flights of fancy grace my mind
Here I am, I know not why
And though “weeds” obstruct my view of sky
I’m looking forward to some pie!

“In the evening by the moonlight
You can hear those banjos strummin'”
In the evening by the moonlight
You can hear those old Fords hummin’
On a recent California trip, my sister Virginia and I came accross these old Fords “relaxing” on the hillside.
Retirement in the California hills
No more lube jobs, no more bills
No congestion, but fewer thrills
Yes, when the rubber leaves the roads
There’s no more hauling heavy loads
Or accidental skunks and toads
Still you dream in cherry red
Rising pistons—four barrel fed
And a happy pooch pacing your bed
The driving truth keeps sinking in
Sooner or later, tired wins

I used a shot of my sister Virginia’s Christmas tree from a couple of years ago for this one. The greeting card version is available at my Zazzle store, just click the photo.
This is a photo of the Seattle installation of “The Fin Project : From Swords to Plowshares” located in Magnuson Park. These are retired submarine fins, and the sculpture is intended to be a monument to “World Peace and Recycling.” Here I am recycling the sculpture and global peace idea with an “act locally” message.
The night was dark… this was not a revelation
But, while fuming over legislative constipation
It dawned on me, it too would pass
When I saw the coyote in the grass

I was enjoying the peaceful and productive nature of all the water lilies at Seattle’s Arboretum — got to wondering what they would think of the destructive fear mongering going around today.
OK, it didn’t happen exactly like that. I liked this photo, thought about a while, and finally came up with a sentiment that fits it pretty well, I think.
“Drown not in fears and apprehension
Thrive upon the surface tension”
What Say The Water Lilies?
