Final Rest
A few headstones and a permanently open gate are all that mark this cemetery, buried deep in the corn fields of South Dakota. Someone still tends the grass, the only disturbance to the sleep of the dead.
Garden and Grain Silo
The Duluth Rose Garden overlooks the twin ports.
failed jump
You can just see a chipmunk exiting stage bottom.
ladybug
An almost blooming thistle, and a ladybug. The red/green contrast is almost as good as yellow/blue.
whodunit
I’m sure the hole in the Mullein leaf bears no relation to the shadow on the other side.
yellow rose of the canal
A yellow rose grows wild along the Highline Canal. An early morning rain shower adds photogenic drops and strengthens the greens.
perfect perch
A mountain bluebird looks out through snow flurries. She has found the perfect size branch to perch on.
lost reception
Wires hang from what used to bring TV to these houses near the Moffat tunnel.
Caves and Kayak
Lake Superior has many colors, from the browns of the mud bluffs to the ice clear and ice cold waters of the north shore rocks. Here it is green, and so is the Meyer’s Beach sea cave it is illuminating.
Cold Coffee
An empty coffee cup matches the bear berries and the snow.
