the sun’s descent
behind the mountains
into the sea

I took this photo at Marina Beach, along the Edmonds waterfront earlier this week. It’s one of my favorite place on earth.

Shot with my Samsung S9, I’m quite amazed at the quality of images that I get from my phone. I also wonder how much better my photos would be if I used a better phone, or, egads, an actual camera.

Night Haiku, December 28, 2020

A night haikuon the edge of dreams
night takes ahold of my life
the moon and clouds sing

Haiku: December 9, 2020


amidst the daylight
the sky holding my gaze
the rain speaks loudly

A Rainy Afternoon Walk

walking through the mist
rain-soaked clothes cooling my skin
memories of sun

A Wednesday Evening

Wednesday evening haiku

Father and child

Gazing upon Christmas lights

Embracing wonder

A Thanksgiving Haiku

A Thanksgiving Haiku

friends and family
embracing gratitude
embracing joy

I hope your Thanksgiving was refreshing and filled with gratitude.

An Autumn Day

sunlight from the south
the graceful autumnal air
dances through the trees

It’s been a crazy few days. It felt good to write today.

Walking Through The Leaves

I walk through the leaves
feeling the wind in my hair
the jays cheer for sun

Amidst The Trees

amidst the trees
moving through the mist
rain starts to fall

Another rainy, autumn day near Seattle. I was able to get out from behind my desk for a little while, abruptly, when I noticed a dryish patch in the day. Yet again, I almost got home before the rain started to fall. Fortunately, I managed to avoid getting too wet. Fortunately.
