A painting before me
the quiet mist rolling and ocean
waves deeply breaking beyond
I can feel my cup
filling my eyes following
each branch inviting me (more…)

Clam Beach, CA
Looking mysteriously north, over tree tops
The magic seaside confidently big, Pacific
Leaping and curious and daring and creative
My adventure begins
Time to pack, I forgot how
Don't forget how to love you to shine
All wonderful and sleep
Red wild and wish
Light stars and care
Just you tonight to accept
and give
Others see fire and almost night and wish the mystery of their destiny would
Get lost in the magic of the view
But I am living in this blue deep wonderful night sky
You can too

Staring you down
Don’t get to close, the wilds
Waves rolling
Find a perch, basque
Into the view feeling
The earth is alive beneath you (more…)

The ocean below singing in wave length tones. A few minutes into this incredible moment I heard a rustling from behind me. It got louder and louder and I realized it was a mudflow from the steep cliff the road was cut from. Luckily there were lots of trees and bushes breaking its slide, I never saw it, just heard it.

631 Miles, North

A straight road, as if cut from a ruler drawn line. Flat lands filled with grass, cows and drought killed almond trees. Everything planted in a row. It is clear, this road is taking up valuable growing space. Hours have past, still the same scene out the windows, hundreds of miles and the desolate, desperate, sun bleached signs continue (HELP, No One is Listening, We Need Water). (more…)
Arcata Community Forest

I am not the first to take photographs of these incredible 800 protected acres. I am not the first to marvel at the will of a community, to protect their own backyard. (more…)
