a doe and her fawn

My husband and daughter were on a country road last year when they saw these two deer: a doe and her fawn. The mother crossed quickly into the woods but as you'll see the baby had... a little trouble finding the right place to jump.

Text Me

I watched how to make a text portrait at YouTube last night and found myself trying one. The end result was Text Me using a photo of myself and one of my poems called Baptism:

I feel a sketch of sun
Upon my Caucasian skin as
I walk across Feng Shuied stream,
This chasm of youth,
With bare and crooked feet
I silted the stream,
Each step, breaking Zen
Like a foreign language
Translated and broken into
Fragments of sound until
I washed away in the sediment
Waking along the
Extended banks of peripeteia
Sutured to my new life.

freedom

been spending to much time over at facebook and neglecting my other online presences... so... today i decided to start freshening up my blog with a photo i entered into the Magi Art Show this past Saturday. it won a first place ribbon and a trophy in its division.

thanks to all my readers for their patience in my absence this year. it's been one of doctor's visits, healing and learning. but hopefully i'm back for a long stay now...
