Started photographing in childhood, first camera... a Kodak box. As a creative writer I am now mostly intrigued by Japanese forms haiku, senryu and tanka, but I am just learning. I love pairing my botanical photographs and watercolours with poetry.
Enjoy!

beauty in the light!
hollyhock sharing the last of her life
keep this as a reminder
that now a gathering
of love is waiting here

A photo I took a few days ago of sunlight on a fading hollyhock.

my mothers white rose
is at it again…blooming.
frost in the forecast?

This is a photograph I took today of my mom's white rose. It is flowering! She would buy small potted roses to have on her balcony, this one has happily moved into the perennial bed. Getting bigger every year.

prickly little plants adorned
tiny golden hands

This is a photograph of a safflower flower in my garden, it looks like a skimpy pompom... yellow and red.

precious, delicate…
I know my touch would ruin
your silken nature

can you tell me bro….
how high is
up in the sky?
would I fall back to earth
or could the big clouds
carry me away?

not caring… life is fleeting,
silent symphony

glowing reflection
a painterly reflection
a contemplative reflection

A photo I just took of sunlight making interesting shadows on the floor. They are reflected on a dark blue plant pot… looks like a painting.

early september
wildfire smoke holds the sky
hostage, once again

This is what the sun photographed like. It was totally orange with the naked eye, here it is golden with a red ring. Smoky sky from wildfires.
