CHRISTMAS PEACE – 2025
This Christmas Eve is a particularly unsettling one, with chaos, bigotry, and violence awash in our world. I reached back to an image of a lone mallard paddling in a cold pond a few winters back. It was February 1st in Ashland, Oregon and somehow there was no ice on the pond. The mallard was…
TEST
This is a test to see if my connections with social media are working… I’m starting up the blog again in the New Year…
Transition…
October is a month of constant change, progressively waving goodbye to the heat of summer and bringing a gaudy display of color… It is the perfect time to rekindle Morning Glimpses… wandering with my camera and imagination in the midst of this periodic transition… Fall trumpets its own arrival… Cattails in the wetlands watch over…
Walking Again… In our new neighborhood
We sold our home last summer and moved to the Mountain Meadows community in Ashland, Oregon. Early this morning I set out walking on the periphery of Mountain Meadows… The morning sun offers a moment of luminosity in the awakening sky… “Hey! I know this is beautiful, but where’s the hive?” I could sit here…
New Beginnings
I start out in the early morning sun, hoping for bursts of Spring color along the way. Just over the hill, this gentle purple blanket offers its morning greeting… A tree pruning sets in motion the process of healing… Are these two also anticipating the arrival of more Spring color?

It is a drab winter day as I set out, looking forward to spring. It feels like there may be no pictures this morning. How wrong one can be… The first thing I see this morning offers up a glimpse of the world coming back once more. This polyvalent window startles me with its “Good…
An Eclectic Walk
The walk always offers up the theme… you’ll see what I mean. “Hey! Where is everybody? They were here just a minute ago…” Cold as it is, there’s still a crowd seeking ice cream… I’m not really sure what this is, but I like it… The Varsity Theater marquee calls out to us, “Come in…
Out for a Stroll
I start out for a stroll, with skies of gray, wondering if there will be any color to see. Right at the start, I’m surprised. Looks to me like he is swimming through an impressionist’s palette. Is this alarming Ikebana? At first I thought the tree was rusty… Each day, these first responders are on…
Afternoon Walk
Looking for a fresh perspective, I walk through the Railroad District in the afternoon. An arch and chips appear out of nowhere… This owner-designed Craftsman is an aging beauty… The Inn appears open, but the porch light isn’t on… How many roads has this old rim gone down? What will these buds become in just…
