Colorful Drive


 
colorful drive
reds explode like fireworks
lipstick on leaves

* * * * *

acres of asters
and giant goldenrods
stop the car

* * * * *

the last light
decorated with a rainbow
sans my camera

Autumn's Golden Light



 

golden light  
as autumn season begins  
pause from urban life 


Swinging Bridge

shadow moves under each step
river road

Jay Cooke State Park has a Swinging Bridge 
over the St. Louis River which makes for a very exciting road trip.

Due to rain and storm damage, it has been repaired or rebuilt now three times. 

It was much more exciting and had a wider range to the swing when I was younger.

Seasonal Desires

long summer days
cool morning dew

seasonal slow down
golden autumn light

Garden Sanctuary

airplanes overhead

My favorite place is in our backyard garden sanctuary.

Conversely, I can look up to see airplanes and I imagine traveling.

That Lump in the Throat

 


that lump in the throat  

when the heart slowly breaks  

 

the cabin's InBeaute sign  

that symbolizes our love and our life  

becomes part of our deep, rich past  

 

tears fall into the fire  

*  

photo 9/4/2022 Burning sage for this sacred ceremony to bring peace and calm to this ending. 

Self-Portrait Burns

 


bonfire  

burns memories  

 

silly days  

pretending to be  

a painter  

 

now, I'm just me

Self portrait painting burns.  

Hands Are Full

  petrichor   heavy in the air   fills our hands
