I took this shot with my phone as my camera is having some issues, but you get the picture.
Standing out here, I peer into the depths of space and wonder: if the night sky looks like this through my phone from this dusty rural arm of the galaxy, what does it look like from downtown?

the scarecrow
quit his post today;
now crows are
in the grain–
some folks say he ran away
looking for a brain

I saw this old cop car in a farmers yard and had to get a shot of it. Perhaps I watched too many cartoons as a child, but these old Fords with the gumball machine on top were a lot of fun and common characters back then. They could stand up and walk on their wheels and used cats for sirens. They chased bootleggers and bankrobbers. This one still looks traumatized from it all.
he was born in the great depression,
and i can’t believe all that he’s seen;
just look at his facial expression–
i think that you’ll know what i mean

a brisk october morning
woodsmoke fills the air
land of sky-blue waters
the docks are put away
there’s no one fishing
the resort is deserted–
it’s all mine now

we may not know where
we’re going, but we’re sure that
we’re getting there fast

a picnic table
is the perfect place to feast–
on nature’s beauty
our souls always hunger for
nature’s beautiful banquet

fall colors blaze in
the pine forest’s underbrush–
flames frozen in time
