that’s my mom and dad
Spent a few days visiting with my parents last week in beautiful Puerto Rico. This was taken in Rincon, a popular area for surfers. This is the first of a few images from my trip to visit with them. My mom took a terrible fall two weeks before I arrived. Thankfully, no broken bones. I am very proud of them and I will share a few reflections/memories about them with these posts. For this post:
My mom and I had a conversation one day about things you talk about when your parents are elderly… I will never forget holding my mom as I assured her that she would always be welcome in my home…we cried, and as I held her frail, thin frame, through her tears she managed to say, “Take care of your father. He is a good man.”
He is a great man….and my mom a great woman…the kind of greatness that is like a rare, precious jewel….a greatness that changes the world because they are selfless, kind, so loving and possess a depth of wisdom that gives life… that’s my mom and dad…

Looking north over Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin.
tree
Not much else to say here….except that trees are cool. Have a great weekend.
river moments
The second image from my meanderings along the banks of the Illinois River. This is a favorite spot…if you have been hanging around my blog for a while you will probably recognize it. Have a great week!
waiting for winter
We are having an unusually warm December… the I & M Canal seems to be quietly waiting for winter to arrive…. I would rather see the warmer trend continue.
good-bye friday
Well… that cloudy poem never arrived…but this sunset did. I am always drawn to sunsets…sunrises…..well…to almost anything that reminds me how small I am, and what true artistry is. …perspective is a good thing. So, enjoy a stroll along the shore and marvel at the vastness of the sea, or, stare – for a long time – at the stars, watch the day end, or, walk among the tallest trees you can find… I believe THE artist is always at work. Sorry for the long time between posts, spent most of the week way under the weather. Have a great weekend.
i really don’t know clouds at all
Working on a poem for this one…but not quite there yet, so, for now a nod to a favorite song from Joni Mitchell.
catching the wind 4
My last post (for now) of these amazing wind turbines. I would like to say that I carefully planned this composition…that the wind turbines interesting resemblance to the sun star was intentional… but I can’t. However, I do like the way it turned out. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week.
catching the wind 2
The second image from a recent motorcycle ride to a wind farm not far from where we live. For some reason I am fascinated by these gigantic pinwheels and the “whoosh” sound that they make as those huge blades turn….. pretty cool! Two more will follow….in color.
