anthropomorphic

April 5, 2017 by Dale 3 Comments

the fog stands wet upon the crumbling cliff reaching for its home the dandelions bend into their wasted selves flagging a season done the fescue weaves the earth into the land setting the dining table the scanning sentinel watches over the world marking life’s moments. I watch the wildness of an island alone dripping hungry…

Standing Upon a Beaver Dam

April 5, 2016 by Dale 6 Comments

Gatineau Landscape

I stand upon a beaver dam A mountain top upon the sky Overlooking a landscape of paint. I balance myself on a sturdy log An ark upon a diluvian lake Drinking heaven from a chalice. I crouch within a grasp of green Genomes held within a treasury Living emeralds feeding life. I walk upon a…

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…

Tails of Ice

January 10, 2015 by Dale 4 Comments

Entranced by the colours of these warm ‘cattails’ … or ‘bull-rushes’ as we called them when I grew up. I still remember vividly the effect my childish hoarding of the fall rushes in my father’s shed had one warm day in spring when they all burst back to life and filled the shed and all…

A Million Bells at Nighttime

September 26, 2014 by Dale 10 Comments

Million Bells at Night

 © Dale Schierbeck 2014  © Dale Schierbeck 2014 The notion of pictures at night are indeed a beautiful theme. There are so many elements to the night and so many variables that can be incorporated with the play between the shutter speed, aperture, and even the use of a flash, light and the absence of…

An Enduring Bloom

September 23, 2014 by Dale 2 Comments

Enduring Bloom

 © Dale Schierbeck 2014 Flower blooms are often ephemeral, lasting for a few short days or weeks, but the orchid, for all its delicate folds and appearance of fragility is an amazing flower that can endure for months at a time. This bloom has been providing me warmth since late winter where it sits next…

Endurance ~ My Best Friend

September 20, 2014 by Dale 16 Comments

Endurance(m)

 © Dale Schierbeck 2014 At 18½ years of age, my very special best friend, Benjamin, endures like nothing else I’ve ever experienced. Wrestled from the streets of Warsaw as a pup, he has endured a life with me that has taken him half-way across the world and then to Canada’s North and then again half…

County Memories

May 28, 2014 by Dale 4 Comments

Some places are so big that they can create a moment. Some moments, special in their second, create lifetimes. Every year, I along with my wonderful and very dear friends from Ottawa (and a few from the “Greater Ottawa Area” which, for the purposes of this blog, now includes Toronto) descend 3 hours south into…
