Sailing into the unknown
As the sun rises over the bay, I am alone with a boat and a boyish longing for adventure.
Sit with me
Nothing can stop me on a walk quite like a quirky bench.
Symphony of praise
The sun is setting behind the cottages across this narrow lake.
Root force
Warned by the bright orange cone, I look down at the jutting sidewalk and think, “There’s humor here.”
Stand Alone
The old woman in the hotel breakfast area is holding court.
Keeping it simple
The speaker I am about to scribe has a message for me from Steve Jobs.
The Divine is in the details
Leaning in, holding my breath, I raise my camera toward the coiled rattlesnake.
Anticipation
The floating lure hits the water with a plop, sending ripples out in neat concentric circles.
Oasis
The more basic a thing is, the easier it is to take for granted.
