A haiku:
I saw a tortoise
Approached carefully, quiet.
He politely posed.
I always feel lucky on a day when I see a turtle or tortoise. Today’s walk had me crossing paths...

Unique perspective
Upside down, maybe backwards

A haiku:
Jumping just for fun
Feet pushing the earth away
Finding it again.
35 years ago, I was sure that my Hula Hoop Skills would come in handy some day!
Maybe they finally have! Here, some silliness with the hoops!
I've posted a lot of "Selfie in Three Parts" posts lately. So I thought I'd mix things up a bit today!
With all of the new Patrons of late (thank you so much!!!), it has occurred to me that n...

I followed a skater on an epic journey via YouTube.
This is a behind the scenes look at why.

Charcoal and paper
Using a mirror I draw

1. A photograph. A real tangible ins...

Join me for a lovely walk in the shady woods!
A little walking, a little talking. Some of the sights include a grist mill, a stream, and a footbridge!

Glasses on my face
I have worn them my whole life

All the things with me this week. I hope your week is going well!
What you see here is turtle skills practice. I was trying to set a tone with the "heroic music" style, multiple cuts, and variation of speeds. So, what you don't see are the countless times I was l...
