Bright Eyes

you came from my dream
very late to stand at my door
with your bright eyes
very real and wholly mythical

and in those waking moments
fragments all in a rush

jukebox matchmaker
feverish crayons
the angry spider
genocide perpetrated against clams
a boy in the circus
campfire perfume
a case of bad brakes
all the snacks in the mountains
a sadly heartbroken deer

so much from so short a time
the well i lower a bucket into
when i need to remember
how sweet life can be

(until we meet again...)

To Be Always In The Flow

The Flow

It is when we leave the Flow
Resist
That we become separated from the Universal...

Observing Orchids at Cleveland Botanical Garden

Tulip #30

I had a great time teaching this weekend at Cleveland Botanical Garden during the Observing Orchids workshop! The workshop is planned to coincide with the Garden's annual Orchid Mania event, which is always a treat. This year we were given the opportunity to shoot in the glasshouse for a couple of hours prior to the Garden's opening to the public. There were some really beautiful images created by the participants this year.

Thanks to Jennifer at CBG for working with me to make this our best macro event so far!
