Pluckin' On The Strings of AutumnTruckee, CA


Pluckin' On The Strings of Autumn
Singin' a sad song.
Wishin' you were here beside me...
Where did we go wrong?
It was spring when we said forever.
Summer was a ball.
Now I know; don't speak of never...
Cuz if you do, you fall.
---------------------------------------------------------
These are dorkiest country song lyrics ever written. 
This hour. 
By me. 
WooHOOOO!!

A New Light on ThingsTruckee, CA

As the remaining bits of her decayed past fell away like old skin
She felt new life coursing through her veins. Vibrance. Radiance. 
Her now suddenly seemed amazing, her future; star-bright. 
This 'new light on things'... oh yeahhh... it could stay.

She Sang Her Little Heart OutTruckee, CA

She was thrilled and trilled till the end you see...
So delightful the song she sang for me. 
From beginning to end it was all in tune;
Till September she went, but she started in June. 
The birds were in awe, the crickets were too...
I only wish that I'd recorded for you.
Just a photo have I of the last note she sang -
It made the sun rise, made me gasp and say "Dang!"
It was more than enough, as she gave it her all..
To say: "Life can be tough... but it sure is a ball!"

Hey, what can I say? It's Hollyhock Poetry.

Elegance, AlwaysTruckee, CA

Her mother taught her to love movement
Her mentors taught her line and grace
Life taught her that elegance, always, felt the best.
She Was A Little Wild
Casual observers noted her elegance and dignity. 
Jealous detractors claimed her to be wild and unpredictable.
No one disputed her commanding height - tall, even for one of her kind.
Her friends just called her Dee. 
And loved her crazy hair.

The Silver-Tipped Fox
She was a silver-tipped fox, so the story goes...
Folks call her vain, but that's the way she grows.
Some idolize... most criticize... 
But then she laughs and even meanest one shuts right up
Or down... seems everyone has an envy complex in town
They act bored... 'cause she scored... 
She just  rises up above 'em all and leaves them just floored.
That's her. For sure. 
The silver-tipped fox that people may call vain,
But that's the way she grows and just as everyone knows
She will rise up above 'em all and leave 'em just floored.
Yeah.

I Need Glasses For the Grasses Reno, NV

I love this because it's just so simple.
And proves that you can find wondrousness to shoot in the unlikeliest of places without missing a beat if you're paying attention and carrying your camera around with you.

I shot this in a parking whilst out on errands in Reno last week. I used my f2.8 70-200 and let it do all the work. With this POV and its selective focus, all I had to do for post-processing was a little curves and sharpening - but not much - and a case could've been made for skipping that part altogether. The light, the lens and Ma Nature did the heavy lifting... all I had to do was press the shutter and giggle in delight. 

OK, and notice the grasses in the first place. 
It does help to pay attention. 
Oh yeah, and never whine about how there's nothing to shoot close to home. 
grin.
