This That There

Leave a comment

There I go again, off on another tangent. This must stop. That rage must end.

Okay, I’m better again. Could be the music I just turned up. The prospect of seeing my children and grandchildren this weekend. The thought of the sun appearing tomorrow after a week of absence. Maybe that twitch in my left leg, and right hand can be cured by that manual transmission once I rip the cover off.

I’m sorry, after a week of sitting the traction control button is going to be disabled and the top will be down.

All these things have me looking up. I know I’m behind on some fresh shooting for this week. I captured my favorite Hawk Monday between the rain taking in the view from a power pole in my back yard.

Someone is pretending to ignore me.

No matter how far he turned his head I bet he never lost sight of me.

A red-shouldered hawk perched on a wooden post, surrounded by green foliage.

And of course, after he finished pretending we looked at each other for a good bit.

I feel kind of creative today. Must be this cleaned up office. I just put a fresh stack of 8×10 semi-gloss in the printer, so I think I’ll make that hum for a bit.

I might try some night shooting when darkness rolls in.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • I forgot that I really liked the Bob Segar song Shakedown a lot.
  • My mom had beautiful penmanship. I didn’t get that gene.
  • I have a choice to express myself or not. Why waste the opportunity to go wild.
  • Today feels like a day to mess with a telemarketer caller.

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.
