A New Year

Heading into a new year with resolutions of being a new you while dragging the old you kicking and screaming with you.

Off to the gym, and to the health food store or outside for a walk with the old and new you to figure out the best you.

(How many times can this guy use you in a sentence???)

Water can be a solid, a vapor and liquid and so can you – emblematically and emphatically.

Things come and go, time is on the clock and you can only be you.

I hope you have enjoyed my blog in 22

Come back and see what I have for 23

Tis the season

It was the days before Christmas and all through the land

 Santa Clause new things were getting out of hand

People’s minds were filled with seasonal clutter

Must be here, must buy this, layaway, layaway! They could be heard to mutter

The season is for glad tidings and good will to man

That should be the plan

A child questions the holiday’s annoyances with style

But knows that the making of cookies always brings a smile

From jimsgibberis.com have a HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON!

Just go out and do it you don’t need a good reason.

In a World Where Seasons Collide

Fall in northern Wisconsin can be a mixed bag of palpable change, where animals and plants come to life before they go into a winter slumber.

A tale of one of these days came from out of a seemingly systematic day, not hot, not cold just an October day. The trees were still in full color and I wanted to hide from my everyday obligations and chores with the excuse that soon the leaves would be down and covered with snow so I must be out in them before they are gone.

With camera in hand I stared on a hike into the woods … and soon after I started it began to snow … and then snow harder. Snowflakes as big as the palm of my hand fell out of the sky and mixed with the color of the fall leaves, I had entered a dreamlike snow globe of amusement.

By the time I got back to my car it and the ground were covered in an inch of snow and by the end of the day most of the snow had melted.

Enter that world by taking a trip through my photos.
