I have stood on the plot where I will spend eternity
“A quiet city” full of ancestors.

Shine On Harvest Moon 🌾

The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see
For the moon refused to shine
Couples sitting underneath a willow tree
For love they pine..

Driving by the lake, the colors made me pull over as I often do.

The fish are not biting, so just “relax”
& have a Pepsi.

"Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay."
" Robert Frost,

Iowa 💛My Iowa 🌽
Through sunny days and
yellow weeks,
With clouds that melt in tears,
The glory of the harvest speaks
In all the silken ears.

Good night 💤
I can imagine this one day.

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

The Towers contain everything you could ever desire. I was not expecting this from a “evolving” 3rd world country. Canon Rebel camera.

Maybe it’s a portal :)

This time “piece”I rescued this from a jewelry box and had it re-worked .

The accuracy of Flagship watches earned Longines first and second place at the 1961 Observatory of Neuchâtell competition.

Oh My Dahlias!!

I walk woods too. Last month it was Minnesota. Days later I found an embedded tick. Just in time I found a emergency clinic and saved myself from a hospital stay🤕
Went hiking the next day ( with caution )
