Dream

“In a dream you are never eighty.”
Anne Sexton 1928-1974

Not yet anyway. Ah, the possibilities of youth!

I like the way the color of the bike frame and basket in this shot contrasts with the almost black and white looking tire, ground and background. It is an unaltered photograph.

Fine Bird Art

"It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds."
Aesop 620 BC - 560 BC

This mural size bird cannot fly away. He's stuck on stucco.

Color

“I never met a color I didn't like. “
Dale Chihuly 1941-

These likable colors were residing in Tucson, Arizona. The cat was nice too.

Stairs of Triumph

“The world is like a grand staircase, some are going up and some are going down.”
Samuel Johnson 1709-1784

These folks are ascending the spiral staircase inside the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

More Than a Grain

“It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out; it's the grain of sand in your shoe.”
Rodan of Alexandria

Sometimes it’s better to go barefoot. This is Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado.

Shakespeare, Einstein and Me

"God has given you one face, and you make yourself another."
William Shakespeare 1564-1616

"I am neither especially clever nor especially gifted. I am only very, very curious."
Albert Einstein 1875-1955

Here’s a self portrait I did for Valentine’s Day. And yet my wife still loves me.

As Far As I 'm Concerned

“You all look like happy campers to me. Happy campers you are, happy campers you have been, and, as far as I am concerned, happy campers you will always be.”
Dan Quayle 1947-

Forever and ever and ever.

Spreading Light

“There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”
Edith Wharton 1862-1937

I like the morning light that is surrounding the Sydney Opera House in this shot. The main light is coming from the sun off to the left and the fill light is being reflected from tall office buildings off to the right. The dots on the water are the sun rays bouncing off the lower windows of the opera house.

Pothead Hangout

“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra 1925-

He would be if he went to this place.

Color and Shapes

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.
Georgia O'Keeffe 1887-1986

But I do have words- old... truck… sideways.

No, No, No...No, No, No

"If I'd observed all the rules, I'd never have got anywhere."
Marilyn Monroe 1926-1962

Not by car, motorcycle or horse anyway. And remember...leave your tepee at home.

You Should Go

“A small town is a place where there's no place to go where you shouldn't.”
Burt Bacharach 1928-

This idyllic small town is on the Aurlandsfjord in beautiful Norway.

Accommodation

“Every acquisition of accommodation becomes material for assimilation, but assimilation always resists new accommodations.”
Jean Piaget 1896-1980

July Fourth

“So, two cheers for democracy: one because it admits variety
and two because it permits criticism”
E. M. Forster 1879-1970

Happy Fourth of July everyone, wherever you live.

Wishful Thinking

“When turkeys mate they think of swans.”
Johnny Carson 1925-2005

Maybe sometimes it works.
