Sunset Pictures

 Sunset Pictures


Nightly, I capture sunsets for over a decade. Armed with my camera, I chase fading daylight. The routine becomes a ritual, a timeless commitment. Each sunset unveils a unique, vibrant canvas. A decade of photographs, a visual journey through time. The camera lens preserves moments in hues. Every night, the sun's descent unfolds gracefully. This habit, an enduring love affair with dusk. The routine, more than a hobby, a devotion. Over ten years, the sky's artistry witnessed. It's not just about pictures; it's about memories. The camera, a companion in solitude and awe. The sunsets, a language that needs no words. A daily communion with nature's masterpiece. Through the lens, I find solace and wonder. A decade's worth of sunsets, a cherished collection. Each photograph, a testament to time's fleeting beauty. Night after night, the ritual persists—an unwavering connection to the artistry of the setting sun.

Ancestors (Published Jan 24, 2022)

I spent a lot of time ruminating this week on this theme of talking with my ancestors. This has been a difficult one to write about, who are my ancestors? Seems my ancestors are people I know little or anything about and did not know existed until three years ago. Did they ever cross over and talk to me or give me a sign? And if they ever did, what did they talk about and what advise have they given me. When we drove cross country ten year ago, I was attracted to getting off the interstate in Eastern Pennsylvania to see the Amish Country. We saw the horses and buggies going down the highways with Amish men, looking much like Hassidim, galloping past. Was I attracted to the novelty or was there some internal messaging to see my roots? Or then again, was it because we read about a good brewery just miles off the interstate and wanted to bring special beers we were collecting along the route to our children? I have nothing in common with these people. I feel no certain affinity as a dig d...

A memory about pets (Published Sept 13, 2021)

 The first pet I was aware of was my parents dog Taffy, a Chihuahua. Taffy died when I was around six and my mom almost immediately went to the pound and got a dog named Jinxy, I'm not sure why the name and if we named her or if she came with that name. Jinxy was a white, with some brown, Fox Terrier mix. She was a great dog but had two problems. The first is that she always urinated when anyone pet her. And when the door bell rang and she ran to the door excited, there was always an accident including urinating on several guests shoes. Because of this, Jinxy was confined to the service porch with our washer and dryer or the backyard. This leads to the second issue - She loved breaking out of the yard and run (sort of like Almas). Not to long after we got Jinxy, my parents did get another Chihuahua, which they named Chico. Jinxy was "my dog" while Chico was my parents. The dogs got along well and I've got cute pictures of them laying together. However, Chico always ha...

Jammy and Thumbelina (Published August 2, 2021)

 My name is Thumbelina. I’m a 30-year-old miniature horse and I live on a farm near Petaluma. I used to live in a smaller town called Occidental. Many years ago, when I lived in Occidental, I had a dear friend I use to play with all the time named Jammy. Jammy was a potbelly pig and we use to have so much fun running and playing in the fields. As we were both small and the owner was gone most of the day at work, we spent many a happy day romping in the grass and weeds. We liked to play as we were both “close to the ground” as our owner would say. While my original owner abandoned me and the Humane Society found me the home in Occidental, Jammy came from a good home and her old owners came to visit Jammy all the time. I still recall their names after all this time, Jerry, and Susan. How could I forget their name? Jammy talked about them all the time: “Susan this and Jerry that.” To be honest that is the one thing that drove me crazy about Jammy; she could not stop talking about Susa...
