Sumac

Trash trees, they grew in gangs at a useful field's edge. Lean, scraggly, they had the look of racket about them, trees that would mouth off, eye your sister then your mother, trees like whip handles . . . Michael Chitwood

Great Legs

I wonder if ducks are jealous of herons

Lift Off

Aliens are leaving the park

Ugly Ducklings?

Kinda cute for cygnets

Heinz -- Eat Your Heart Out

They're ripening in my garden

Test

Who's watching whom

It's For You

Take a good look -- can't see them hanging around much longer

I Feel Your Pain

I believe he works part time at the cemetery herding mourners.

Big Steel Rail

There was a time in this fair land when the railroads did not run . . . Lightfoot

Misty morning

Right here in the city

California Dreaming

California poppies growing wild

Splish Splash

Pointless

I doubt it will help much

Suicidal Shopping Carts

. . . Or was it murder?

Tell me about it

Glad to see someone is making sense

Innocent when you dream

It's such a sad old feeling
the fields are soft and green
it's memories that I'm stealing
but you're innocent when you dream -- Tom Waits

Monarch Woods

Always peaceful, except when the creek is in flood.

Forward to the Past

Some days, it's just too hard to ride on by

Dawn, and the bottle is empty

Hush a wild violet, hush a band of gold
Hush you're in a story I heard somebody told
Tear the promise from my heart, tear my heart today
You have found another, oh baby I must go away
So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
Hang down your head tomorrow, hang down your head Marie -- Tom Waits
