Cloud Mines

Hello Friends! Tonight’s Feature Image is titled “Morning Reflections 100421a” and is available for purchase by clicking the thumbnail and reaching out to me on the contact page.

The sun rises up from it’s cozy place behind the mountains to illuminate the three rivers and wake the clouds. As a child I had the fantasy that in addition to coal our mountains also had cloud mines. Some days the miners dug out the coal and other days they would hit a run of clouds and you could see the clouds that they mined rising from vents in the hills. Sometimes the clouds would get coal dust on them the angels would clean them by making it rain. Once all the gray and black was rinsed away we’d have fluffy white clouds again. To a small child who lives in the Appalachian Mountains this was a real possibility. The whole world is made of wonderment and magic.

Good night friends and be blessed throughout your days.

Reach For Your Own Goals

Color Photography, wildlife
Hello Friends! Tonight’s Feature Image is titled “Sun And Sanctuary 91421” and is available for purchase by clicking the thumbnail and reaching out to me on the contact page.

The high sun pours out on the Kanawha River as walk quietly along the path. The submerged log had caught my attention and I began to set up my tripod for a nice shot when part of log began to move. It’s a little known fact that turtles can and actually do move quickly when they want to. He hardly made a splash as he slipped below the ripples. I decided to go ahead and make the best of the location. After a fee shots of the falls and the surrounding area I turned the lens back to the log. I was zoomed in as far as the lens would go but for some reason I couldn’t get the log to stay centered in the frame. It would drift one way and then the other. That’s when I noticed that the turtle was back. When we think about turtles we don’t really think of them as climbers. And while it’s true that the odds of ever see a turtle perched in the tree tops nothing stops them from climbing as high as they can.

Everyone has limitations and gifts. But just because we can’t climb as high as we used to or as high as another can doesn’t mean that we can’t go as high as we’re capable of.

Good night friends and be blessed throughout your days.

Standing On The River’s Edge And Wondering About The Past

Color Photography

Hello Friends! Tonight’s Feature Image is titled “Kanawha Falls 112420b” and is available for purchase by clicking the thumbnail and reaching out to me on the contact page.

Looking out access the mighty Kanawha River as it spills over the stones has become a favored activity for me. Even in the gray condition of late Fall and Early Winter I like to mentally lose myself standing beneath the willows and allowing the sound of the falls to wash away the mental clutter that builds up throughout the day. The stones look like an ancient stairway from a forgotten civilization that passed into the river long ago. In an age when the river was young and much smaller. I can almost hear the echoes of people on the stairs as they go about their daily lives of trading fish and freshwater oysters from the river for herbs and seeds that were brought down from the mountains. A young boy carries a bundle of sticks that have been grown and prepared for making a friction fire. His sister is trading a stack of hand woven baskets made from the ancestors of the very willows that now shelter me. There is laughter as old friends recount stories of their youth and lessons learned the hard way. In some ways life in those days was hard but they had time and space for each other. And that was what made it so worth the living.

Thanksgiving Thoughts 2020

Color Photography, Landscapes

Hello Friends! Tonight’s Feature Image is titled “Kanawha Falls 112420a” and is available for purchase by clicking the thumbnail and reaching out to me on the contact page.

The failing afternoon light quietly slips away on the banks of the big river. As the sun ebbs away from the sky I find myself staring out across the river at falls searching for inspiration. This is Thanksgiving week and in the early days of American history the celebration was for more than one day. I’m told that in those days there was little difference between friends and family. The bonds were deep and lifelong. Today we often ask each other “What are you thankful for?” Most people will single out a favored possession or relationship. A few people will cite a spiritual blessing as the thing that their most thankful for. And all these things are good and they all have a massive amount of value. But, I think that our ancestors were thankful not just for these things but also for freedom they had to enjoy their blessings. Yes it’s true that it would be a long time before the Declaration Of Independence and the birth of a new nation but compared to the life they had in Europe life in the New World was second only to Heaven itself.

My final thought for tonight is that I’m thankful for life itself and thankful for the liberty to enjoy it.

Good night friends and be blessed throughout your days.
