Without Walls
Me again. So, the sun has finally managed to poke its way through the wall of fog that hemmed us in all morning. And, appropriately the Weekly Photo Challenge subject is WALL. So here are some walls Mom I think you’d enjoy. You’ll recognize a couple of them I would imagine…specifically THE REID’s CRYSTAL HALL wall. I’ve actually finally traced some of those ancestors back … Continue reading Without Walls
Orange Are My Walls
You know Mom, I’ve cared, I’ve created, I’ve loved, I’ve lost, I’ve captured moments, and said goodbye to many dreams. I’ve worked at various places, did various things, some good, some not so much. Why not just be? Find something that makes money to live off [check], find something to keep you real [check], find that place [check], sanctify the space, and live there. This … Continue reading Orange Are My Walls
There Is No Death

“But then fall comes, kicking summer out on its treacherous ass as it always does one day sometime after the midpoint of September, it stays awhile like an old friend that you have missed. It settles in the way an old friend will settle into your favorite chair and take out his pipe and light it and then fill the afternoon with stories of places … Continue reading 2014 : 09 : 22
Random Shots From Yesterday
I’ve decided to start just taking random shots of whatever pleases. With no particular place to go, my desire is to just head out the door and go wherever the wind carries me. So over the next while I am going to get back to basics – photographically speaking. With my new little Canon Elph 135, and the wiles and wilds of London for inspiration, … Continue reading Random Shots From Yesterday
Music In A Pasture
I had been here before, a long time ago… and within those woods we had played, and drank water from a spring. In those fields my Great Grandfather had plowed, and worked the land, and I imagine as well my Grandmother and her brother and sisters must have played in those same woods that formed the backdrop for the stage. And just over the horizon … Continue reading Music In A Pasture
Wild Flowers Of August
In The Seven Woods I have heard the pigeons of the Seven Woods Make their faint thunder, and the garden bees Hum in the lime-tree flowers; and put away The unavailing outcries and the old bitterness That empty the heart. I have forgot awhile Tara uprooted, and new commonness Upon the throne and crying about the streets And hanging its paper flowers from post to … Continue reading Wild Flowers Of August
The Wheel of the Year – Lughnasadh
Tis the time, the first harvest, when many European Peoples would have celebrated the first fruits of their labour. Some traditions have celebrations centred around walking up hills, and others of grain and bread. Perhaps in truth, over time humans of Northern and Western Europe have just perhaps found ways to gather, and break bread as a community, as the last days of summer begin … Continue reading The Wheel of the Year – Lughnasadh

This forested city, with a river that runs thru, boasts beautiful parks that ring the fringes of the downtown. Each connected to the other by pathways that travel along the winding river walk. Whether the way be paved or ground, one may find your hearts desires. Continue reading Ring Around The River
Walks in the City
This last Sunday, the Irish Mutt and I went on another of our long walks. Over the last 8 months I’ve established a couple of routes, and this is hands down my favourite, and for obvious reasons. I am constantly astounded at the beauty this city has to offer. Just a mere 10 minute walk from the city centre, one occasionally comes upon the unexpected, … Continue reading Walks in the City
