Not The Same

Resa’s Wolf Tree, Venus, and the crescent moon lined up at dawn

Fiery, smoking moon at dawn

Dawn at the office

The Same

Dawn

Sunset

Dusk

My life is quickly being reduced to some old dawns, dusks, sunrises, sunsets, cottonwoods, pets, Rio Grande, bosque, Sandias, moon and pets with an occasional stinkbug, bird, bee, flower, and different trees thrown in. Below is a recent song I wrote about things being “The Same.”

Saw A Seahorse

Resa’s Wolf Tree at sunrise

Saw a Seahorse in negative space

Jake’s midday sit

Morning Glories

Peace Plant

Gwendolyn and Loki

Ducks shimmering in the late afternoon light

Rio Grande still running low

Puff The magic Dragon flew by at sunset

Coyote cloud stalked Resa’s Wolf Tree at sunset

Pilot Light

Dawn

On my way to light a pilot, I saw a pilot light a balloon.

Spunk: “Hey Paparazzo! Hold your stupid camera level! I’m feeling The Moody Blues trying to hold on to this post!”

Paparazzo: “Oh! Are you feeling like ‘Ride My See-Saw’?”

Prickly Pear

Sunset

Waiting For The Storm

Venus over Resa’s Wolf Tree at dawn

Corn Moon over lightpost at dawn

A wall of rain that never reached us

Lighting was getting close

Loki: “Impresive lightning, Paparazzo. Where’s the storm? Where’s the rain?”

Paparazzo: The storm and rain seems to have Petered out before it got to us.

Loki: “That Peter god, or whoever he is, needs to ‘Man Up’ and start peeing on us!”

Paparazzo: “I love your cat logic, Loki!’
