Reflected Magic

November 20, 2016 by Dale 5 Comments

Jeff Koons' "Tulips"

Melt the rainbow in a pot of gold Mold the molten into magic Tear the sunshine from the rain Polish me a jelly-bean into jewel Consume the world in a blink Send my wife tulips for today Bend the bouquet into illusion And cast your beauty upon its mirrors.” All text and photography © Dale…

Destination Love

September 22, 2015 by Dale 5 Comments

We travel the boardwalk A seabreeze caught hand in hand Write our love in the sand With permanent chalk. We travel life’s bridge To the drum of our feet Our hearts resonate with each beat A future nears across the ridge. We travel the blue sky above Cut the clouds from the light Pack them…

“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…

Symmetry’s Scimitar

February 16, 2015 by Dale 4 Comments

Depth of Fall

January 31, 2015 by Dale 7 Comments
