Broken Earth ~ Perspective in Focus

June 8, 2015 by Dale 4 Comments

Broken Earth 1

The one of the things that I love most about photography is that it grounds me in the moment and gives me pause …. In that space, there is a possibility to see the world and see it different: in this case, the earth itself. I don’t think I’m particularly remarkable because I took a…

Vividly Blue

June 7, 2015 by Dale 5 Comments

There are few colours that capture the human condition’s imagination quite like blue. The colour of the sky, it is heaven where it lands upon the eye. Sapphire in a kiss, the Mediterranean waters I always miss. Yet blue is a colour that Mother nature reserves for few and rare it is to discover it…

“On the Way” ~ Ferry Passage

June 4, 2015 by Dale 3 Comments

Gulls on the Way

Life is a journey filled with journeys and in every journey there is passage … and in this in-between there is discovery to be beheld if we just move our focus from front to side and back. Indeed, I’m often struck how different the world looks behind us than when viewed going forward. In this…

A Force of Nature

May 10, 2015 by Dale 2 Comments

I erupt with strength through hard ground Through sidewalks and walls I abound I dirty knees and nails that try to resist Innocent, I yellow cheeks with a lemon kiss Fill the sky with chutes of gossamer Spread my seeds and choke life everywhere But I am sunshine painted on petal’s hue Each one a…

Floating Dragon

April 16, 2015 by Dale 6 Comments

Floating Dragon

My heart is a dragon afloat An open mouth of violet Tender lips on a pool of glass Heaven in an azure mirror A tongue of gold spins The love of my soul Silken threads protect Project long quills as teeth Submitted to life’s current Pressed against satin scales I am a wild snap dragon…

The Blur of Spring

April 8, 2015 by Dale 5 Comments

Spring Blur

Depending on where you live, you may well be suffering through the same seasonal blur as we are in Ottawa this year. Our winter this year has been unusually long and cold. Indeed there is still ice on our Rideau Canal (a UNESCO World Heritage Site — not because it has ice into the second…

Monarch’s Reward

March 2, 2015 by Dale 7 Comments

Few if any other creatures have to work as hard as they do for their reward than the ephemeral monarch whose journey will take it from toe to tip of this continent in search of milkweed. While milkweed is the monarch’s reward for its thousands of kilometer long flights, milkweed is also disappearing as part…
