The Endless Forest...

 

"..all i can see is trees,
beautiful, majestice trees,
standing ever tall.

mayhap i shall stay here,
til the end of time,
in this endless forest."

Endless Forest by Deena Hardy 

Broken Pieces...

I don’t know what it is about old, dilapidated things but I find them incredibly intriguing.  I think it’s the history behind them that compels me to photograph them.  “Where did it come from, who used it, what did it do, how did it end up here?”  Those are the questions that will race through my mind.  The same can be said for people.  I love to people watch but in this day and age, just gazing at passers-by will get you a sneer or worst case, inquisition from local security.  Don’t even THINK of randomly snapping pictures of strangers unless you want to risk a possible altercation.  At least with these inanimate objects I can think and wonder on what kind of “life” they had and perhaps appreciate their existence…

Faith of a Child...

To think of the moment when we first became aware of our spiritual being and to feel that pure, comforting assurance that we have been, that we are, and always will be a child of God...

Morning in Westminster...

I had originally planned on going for an early morning hike with my dog, Sophie, but I was still pretty sore from the gym yesterday so I decided to walk down the end of my street and see if I could find something interesting to photograph.  Turned out to be a pretty gorgeous morning...

California Dreamin'

Yes, I still remember and I do very much miss the beautiful California sunsets...

"..But in through the open window,
        Which I had forgot to close,
There had burst a gush of sunshine
        And a summer scent of rose.

For all the while I had burrowed
        There in my dingy tower,
Lo! the birds had sung and the leaves had danced
        From hour to sunny hour.

And such balm and warmth and beauty
        Came drifting in since then,
That window still stands open
        And shall never be shut again."

"Up, up and away...."

 We spent a fun (very early) Saturday morning at the balloon festival in Erie, CO.  Not sure I would have the nerve to go up in one but they were certainly very beautiful to watch.
