Peeling paint, Britannia Beach, British Columbia, Canada

Pattern & Detail

I am often torn
Between exploring
Patterns
Or details

Howe Sound storm, Britannia Beach, British Columbia, Canada

Fury ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #13

It is an angry sea
Whipped up
By a furious sky
And I…

I sink into my rage

Sailboat Hull, Britannia Beach, British Columbia, Canada

Green Paint

I begin with the heavy grit, which takes long, deep scratches of paint with it, gouging down through the layers of paint.

Ferry Terminal, Porteau Cove, Howe Sound, British Columbia, Canada

In the tumult, find peace

On a cold, wet October afternoon
Howe Sound takes on the tone of slate
The wind blows hard
Straight up the channel
White caps breaking
Hair and camera strap fluttering

Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping in on a Saturday
Dimly aware of the presence beside me
Who kept me awake long after bedtime
Who jostled me awake throughout the night
Tossing in her dreams
Rising for a trip to the bathroom
Snuggling in with her stale perfume
As she’s just done
Tousled hair in my face
Tickling my nose
Along with her morning breath

Cathedral Gorge State Park, Nevada, United States of America

Constant Change

I look over the mound
Of withering sandstone
Seeking frames for textures

A few grains of sand
Knocked loose by the breeze
Skitter down a miniature ravine
Knocking loose a few more
Along the way
All coming to rest
With so many other grains
Collected in a miniature valley
Slowly filling up
With grains of sand
