Up or Down

Looks can be deceiving. Is this flowing downhill towards me or downhill away from me. For a minute I had to remember where I shot this. The water is actually flowing towards me.

Kind of wondering which way this day will go in terms of direction. I’ve got a blood draw, but otherwise pretty much a free day. I’ll have to come up with a few photo assignments for myself.


First light. Sometimes this low light displays a deeper color. Like watching a sunrise before it breaks the horizon. Sometimes those are the most wonderful colors.

And then there is the full sun. I hope to soak up some rays today because the sun will pull a disappearing act for the next few days I’m told.

Random Thoughts of the Morning

  • Temps in the 40s in late May in unacceptable. It’s ruining my morning vibe.
  • Utilize the tools you have and build more tools.
  • I feel I’m the only one not in a hurry some days.
  • Had our first solicitor come to the door since I put up the No Soliciting sign. Good thing I was asleep because I would have asked why I would buy something from someone who can’t READ and point to the sign. The ironic thing is that the same guy saw me outside later in the morning and I saw him coming into the driveway and I said, “no thank you” and he turned around, not knowing my better half already told him no already. Good thing I didn’t know that or politeness would have been left behind. Because at that point he can’t read or hear so he’s cruisin for a bruisin on that little hoverboard he was riding.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.

  1. Beautiful flowers in either light, and I love a gently flowing stream!
