Grandpa's Team

"Grandpa's Team"

"Grandpa's Team" won first place in the photography division at the Art at the Classic exhibit at the Draft Horse Classic in Grass Valley, California. This award was a special honor for me, as the judge was one of my favorite artists whose work I greatly admire, Lesley Harrison.

Truth

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."

-Authur Schopenhauer

Mitch

"Mitch"

Darling little Mitch explores the vast green sea that is his world. Endlessly devoted to his person, Mitch would follow Michaela around the yard; bounding through tall grass, scooting up the nearest tree, leaping at insects and butterflies. His was an exhuberant spirit, spreading joy with his infectious enthusiasm, who sadly left us far too soon. Mitch became suddenly, violently ill, and after running a series of tests that left us with a grim prognosis, the heartbreaking decision to have Mitch euthanized was made; compounded only by the heartbreaking task of having to tell my young daughter that we could not save her best friend.

Mitch is remembered fondly, and he still brings us happiness when we recall the sweet days we spent with him, and how he taught us so much about the simple joys in life: bounding through tall grass, climbing trees, chasing butterflies, and most of all, friendship.

Mallard Hen with Ducklings

"Mallard Hen with Ducklings"

Like most areas around here near the water, an abundance of Mallard ducks can be found, especially if they can get a handout from a kindly human - though like most of us, they shouldn't be eating those kind of "treats".

I look forward to them visiting when we are at the boat, as I am quite fond of them. I have a flock of twenty some odd domestic ducks to prove it. They are such cheerful, animated little creatures.

The other day after Michael and I had been out on the sea-doo (my water pony), a group of hens came up to me as I waited for Michael to go get the trailer. One was so friendly she climbed right onto the back of the sea-doo.

The hen pictured above visits our dock regularly with the remaining members of her brood. They are just darling, and just about full grown. They like to follow me around while I'm swimming. Hoping for one of those handouts, I'm sure.

Toad

"Toad"

One of my favorite little critters are toads. This year I am fortunate to have plenty of them living in my various flower gardens. One in particular gets a little irritated when I water my rudbeckia, as he sleeps in the dirt there, and does not appreciate his daily shower. This guy was found on a walk along one of the trails at the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge.

Featured Art

"Days End at the Point"

The sun begins to sink beyond the horizon, leaving the sky washed in brilliant, fleeting color.

This image was taken as we came back into port, the sun setting beyond the pier, bringing an end to a fun filled day out on the lake. As summer winds down, days such as this become numbered and precious, as fleeting as the golden hues the sun has left in the sky.
