Season's end and fresh beginnings

from August to November

the flowers stopped blooming

the leaves played their glorious final notes

days filled with sunshine and heat

have quietly changed their clothes

to more muted hues



as much as I had wished,

I couldn't stop Summer from leaving

or Fall from arriving

now Winter sits on the doorstep

and another year closes and begins



In August I returned to the life of a student, after a recess of almost thirty years. I've started on a two year journey with the intention of earning a certificate in Web Page Design. I certainly will continue with floral photography, but for the immediate future being a student will occupy the majority of my time.

Yesterday my show at Pinney library came down after a very extended run from March to the middle of November. I hope those of you who were able to stop by enjoyed the work.


Please continue to visit. I'll post images and maybe a few thoughts now and then. It would be wonderful to hear from you. Please leave a comment.

Be well.
