Waiting for an unsuspecting birdie to come by - like the ones that sleep on my porch perch.......

Roadrunner!

All in an afternoon, after school, before and after dark....

Life at our house.........

Full Moon of December 10th, 2011

400 ISO, 1/60 shutter, 4.1 f.stop

 400 ISO, 1/60 shutter, 3.5 f.stop

Unfortutnately, no tripod on any of them.... 

My Lens..........taking time to gently see..........

Snow Days......... December 5th & 6th 2011

snowflake sea
s. lowery 12/2011

Snowflake dandelions, send feathers to my dreams

Wake up waters from long ago and send into gorging streams

Purging, scoring jagged rocks, on the downhill slide

Smoothing, polishing worn out thoughts
Taking from the rivers to the turning tides
 

Ocean call my name, call me back to be

To swim the kelp beds of my ancestors

Profess my name to the sea
Cleaning foam from seaweed
With sands from the beginning of time
From shore to shore of our ancient world
To the pearl in the oyster born

Each Day We Have a Choice. I Hope That I Choose to View My World as a Beautiful Gem.........

Each day is a miracle.

A new Elvish Addition...

I started this little creature a few months ago in colored pencil then, this evening,

decided to go back in with oil pastels.  It was fun!

Last Thursday or Friday's Sunrise

Scenes from my back yard..........

My patio, as the season begins its' cool down...........
