A New Year Wish...2016

On these final days of another year past,
and a bright and shiny new year about to drop.
May I say you are all precious in my life.
Only the best wishes and a note...
Hang on tight.
For another rocky ride, roll with the punches that
our lives may hand out.
With Luv and respect to all.

Christmas Framed

 

Christmas light caught my eye

in the frame of an image

hanging in my living room?

you know I had to shoot it!

I have never doubted my eye.

many have and many will,

but once in a while....

some see it too?

 

The image in the frame...

 

 

 

 



Selfie

 

Christmas evening 2015

out for some very mild fresh air

when who did I see?

 

 



Merry Christmas 2015

 

Happy Holidays

and the best of the New Year to come

Thank you all

for coming back time after time to view  my work

A great image is not unto itself 

many eyes will determine

I hope I continue to bring you

interesting images

Hard-Boiled

 

A misspent life has led me here

after a night immersed in another's blood 

and on the lam with just pocket change

to show for all that planning!

Instead of a scram...

I find myself breathing a soft sweet smell.

Naked to the world in the arms of  a psychopath

Doris, the softest, drop dead gorgeous

dame a lunatic like me could ever find.

Head spinning to the senses aroused from the deep

I fall comatose ,with a grin.

The roar of my shotgun brings me to life!

"Doris you crazy bitch!"

all 5 feet of soft milky flesh is pumping

a 12 gauge out the window!

"Fuck"

They found me...man I love that Woman!

December Night?

 

 

Warm December night?

the weather is far from the norm

this year

Wearing a t-shirt I shot these

images at midnight

December 5th

 

 

 



Warm December Light

 

Very unseasonable weather.

we have had one snowfall

and our weather stays mild?

Last year we had 2ft

of snow cold and blowing

 

 



Mourning Dove preening

 

 

"Pardon me"

 

 



November Snow

 

A cold November Snow

upon the branches lay

pristine

still

gravity had no will

nothing can spoil

this crisp perfect scene

then

nothing lasts forever

a cold November rain

and only the shadows remain

Keeping close eye

on the bird feeders.

Last Colour

 

The last colour

the leaves have all but dropped

snow is our immediate future

Black and White

 

 



Birthday Flower

 

Searching the archives for a flower

to give to a friend on her birthday

when I came across this Hosta bloom

from a few years ago.

Have a special day JB!

 

 

 

 



Autumnal Abstraction

Some abstract painting

with photoshop.

A Chimps Eye

 

Just another example

of a Chimpanzees eye

You screw up and find a gem!

 

My story is simple

I was lining up the shot

making all the adjustment

for perfect focus and exposure

when a wayward Chimp

jumped me and stole my camera

I chased him off and he dropped my rig

and I found that Chimps eye!

cool eh!
