Catnip & Cheese



Silver indulging in fresh catnip. All of the cats hold the catnip in one paw like Silver.

Lacy sunset

Fast-moving clouds swallowed the moon.

Dawn

Resa’s Tree at Sunrise with greens, golds, and browns.


We encountered Sir Smokey Kitty in the Castle of Gwendolyn the Faire. Her castle is truly over the hills and far away from where we live.
In the 14th century, Gwendolyn the Faire would have invited up to 10,000 people to her banquets. The Erbolate (Herbed Eggs) required around 11,000 eggs to prepare. In these time-warped days where medieval traditions fall out of the wrinkles, Gwendolyn the Faire only had to feed 30 medievalists. It was still quite a feat, and the preparation of the courses was masterful.



Bottles from medieval wine, ale, and mead. The menu. The cookbook used for the medieval courses.



Goblets waiting and whining for wine. The food was excellent and consumed with pleasure. A mix of modern and medieval.

Resa’s Tree with cranes at sunset.

Cranes glow at sunset.
Big Sky Calling is an instrument piece I wrote and finished recording this morning.

New Year’s Timku
Happy twenty-three
Hope you keep your flame burning
Prosper and be free
New Year’s Spunku
Will things go to pot?
Black-eyed peas will help us through
See in twenty-three



The last moon of 2022

Cranes flying on the Crow highway




Landing gears down

Large bird in the clouds



Moon, clouds, contrails, and Tangle Heart Tree

In-coming



Roadrunner in the clouds

Fuzzy moon over Shey’s tree

Crossing beaks for a great 2023



Juncoku
Hops from branch to branch
Looking out for predators
There’s a Cooper’s hawk


Hawku
Perched on iron arch
It sees prey over yonder
Oops, prey flew away










Sparrowku
Like a ball of fluff
Imitating angry bird
Winter is so cold



Towheeku
On the river’s edge
Dining on Russian Olives
Big seed to swallow



Craneku
Oh, they want to fight
Bumping bird breasts, flapping wings
They showed each other
