Images and words from my walks and interactions with nature and the environment.
a kaleidoscopic panorama of elemental magnificence
the sun stretching out is arms
with voluminous sleeves of lace and linen fluff
a majestic baroque costume commanding the skies with a sweeping gesture
as the sun bows its head
its wings of gunpowder puffs and tarred feathers
take on an airborne heaviness
tainted gray threads whisper away from floating masses
out into the blue
a procession of purple-gray cloud creatures perform their march of salutations
a choreography of pomp and puff
along the distant water’s edge
one behind another
a trio of beached seaweed echo the dance of the wave that delivered them
with a swish of tails
following the angle of the surf’s retreat
resting listlessly
wrung out
exhausted from their deep water expedition of tossing, sweeping, whirling and thrashing
emerging out of the black volume of a cloud
a skein of birds ascend like a delicate necklace of dark petals
floating effortlessly
arching and angling their pathway through the ether
a line of musical notes singing a sky song
riding the air waves in harmony with the ocean currents far below
as the sky is drained of the streams of warm sunset hues
the ocean settles down into an easy rhythm of come and go
gently lapping the surface of the turning earth
lulling the world to sleep
black weighted clouds that seemingly defy the laws of gravity
hang motionless in the sky
organized according to a spatial hierarchy
ballooning and diminishing along the trajectory of perspective
taking up their ordained positions for the night
perhaps to mysteriously vanish by dawn
silently
