While sitting on a beach all day isn't my cup of tea, I could have sat on that beach all night and watched the clouds roll by.
I keep strange hours while on vacation. I imagine most photographers do. This is looking out from Long Key, Florida, at 4:00 am. I'll sleep when the light is lousy...

Delicate and strong. Tiny and large. Whispers and shouts.
A natural beauty in our own backyard.
The lack of color shouldn't detract from the flower's natural beauty. Instead, the lack of color lets you focus on its symmetry, structure, and complexity.

A short respite from the rain.
All the images this week were taken on the same afternoon and in the same location. Annie the Photo Pup and I spent several hours in and out of the rain (we got drenched a couple of times) and sunshine, chasing cows and good photos. Enjoy!
The rugged, beautiful Flint Hills of Kansas.
After galloping
like clouds
all morning,

now they grow
still as pigeons
on a rooftop,

whisper like
rain on
alfalfa grass.

They stare
at me as if
I am endless,

and for just
this moment,
I am.

We stopped in Trinidad, CO, on our way to NM. After settling into our Airbnb, I jumped back in the car to hunt for abandoned houses and scored this wonderful little house tucked in the foothills just outside town.
An iconic Symphony in the Flint Hills scene: The setting sun is nicely framed by the double speaker stack. We're all gonna miss this view...

In honor of the final Symphony in the Flint Hills, I'm sharing images I captured at the 2024 Symphony. The first one is of one of the many volunteers stationed around the event to help the visitors enjoy the event and stay safe.

Just a boy and his shadow. Oh, and his camera...

The Flint Hills, but this time captured with my 45 year old Nikon FE, my nifty 50 (50mm f/1.8), and a roll of Kodak Tri-X.

After traveling halfway around the globe to experience the wonders of Europe, it is still exhilarating to come home and hike the Tallgrass National Prairie Preserve.

This big boy and his pal were blocking the hiking path, so a wide detour was in order.

My favorite of this series, which shows a small boy playing hide and seek with his father in the Memorial of the 1956 Revolution in Budapest.
