weekly photo challenge: future
As I walk about the campus at Colorado State University…my memories take me back to those days of hope…of expectation…of dreams…of a Future yet to be. Today, a journey through past days.

monochrome madness
Pianos About Town is a community collaborative effort that brings art and spontaneous music to a community. Donated pianos are transformed into whimsical painted pieces of art which are then placed in various outdoor locations about town…this form of interactive public art invites the creation of music as well as opportunities for photographers.

oak street plaza
Oak Street Plaza Park is a hardscape, cobblestone area with cafe tables and chairs where people are invited to enjoy a break from shopping and chat with their friends.
In the summer, children (as well as a dog or two) are fascinated with the water as it jumps from the sculpted “rocks’ or sprits in the air from the cobblestone.

week photo challenge: door
Let me introduce you to my favorite part of Fort Collins, Colorado known by all as Old Town through a selection of doorways in and around the square.
these images were inspired by Woodpress’ photo challenge: Door
out of the depths of the willow
Sweet and sad
like love overwhelmed
with long sighs,
out of the depths of the willow
little by little
the moon appears.

floating
This body
grown fragile, floating,
a reed cut from its roots…
If a stream would ask me
to follow, I’d go, I think.
