I was walking out the front door and noticed the Mr. Lincoln rose was particularly beautiful. I used my cell phone to snap a pic. The water droplets didn’t come through as crisp as I would have liked…you can see the sheen of the droplets. This rose is a fragrant reminder of my mom’s love of roses. First generated in 1964, the rose was transplanted from my folk’s house after their deaths and the sale of their home.

Happy New Year 2013!!! (Snow Crystals Photography)
Is It Plaid or Flannel or ?
Forgotten Harvest……..
A very old apple tree near a 142 year old, vacant farm house. Large, red, apples past their prime. I am not sure about the variety of apple, but typically these are not the types found laying about…usually Crabapples.
A Monument to Strong Hands & The Forgottens
I appreciate that this beautiful mausoleum is an erected testament to the MacLeay family of Portland, Oregon. But, for me, this structure, the highest amongst thousands of graves in the Lone Fir Cemertery, is a fascinating testament to stone masons and glass-smiths that carried out someone’s vision. No, it’s not a European edifice many hundreds of years old, but the craftsmen here were definitely a byproduct of those craftsmen.

Shadow & Contrast…..
In front of my old childhood home from 55 years ago (am I really this old?)…contrasts of old and newer, patches of cement and weeds. My shadow of what was a very innocent boy.
Fortitude
A distant fortress of rock, to shield, protect, give warning, shelter…Fort Rock (Oregon) and the surrounding area provided shelter to humans thousands of years ago.
Someone’s Daughter………..
Someone, where are you? Your daughter needs your attention.
First Light
First light on a cold morning. The mind is seldom free of have to’s, need to’s. The warmth of the bedding around the shoulders anchors one. I can hear the wind. I’ll close my eyes for a little while longer.
