She sits beneath an old tree’s shade,
phone in hand, day unhurried, unafraid.
Her dog sprawls close, a quiet guard,
soft fur dreaming while she stands watch, hard.
Two souls resting in a world that rushes by,
sharing peace where shadows meet the sky. #StreetPhotography #EverydayLife #monochrome

Downtown Lee Summit, Missouri. I’ve always liked the statute on the main street of town. Makes a great street photography photo. #Monochrome #B&W #art #streetphotography #statue

Tiny zen on a sofa throne,
soft as sunrise, calm as stone.
But blink wrong and the peace is gone,
the angel flips, the demon’s on.
A heart of gold, a temper quick,
cute as heaven, fury thick.

A soft bed of mums, white and lavender in the cold November light, holding the last warmth of the season. Thanksgiving whispers through their petals, reminding us that even the quietest blooms can carry the loudest grace. #chrysanthemums #flowers #photograph #poem

A young boy laughs beneath the spray,
hands lifted high to greet the day.
In shimmering drops his dreams take flight,
a tiny king in liquid light.
Where water dances, so does he,
a moment soaked in pure, wild glee.

Found this wall of license plates at the mechanic’s shop. Not sure if it’s ‘decor’ or a trophy room. Kinda looks like every car they’ve ever… let’s say defeated. If my truck disappears, I guess I’ll know where to look, right between Missouri and Maine. #MechanicMysteries #AutoShopHumor

A rose can cut through the noise of a rough day
a soft red spark against the grind.
You stop, breathe, and the mind unclenches.
One quiet bloom reminding you
the world isn’t all pressure and deadlines
there’s still beauty willing to meet you halfway.

NASA’s solar probe finally reached the Sun’s core and found this a massive Photonic Reactor pulsing like a slow heartbeat. Turns out, the Sun isn’t burning gas at all it’s powered by trillions of microscopic LEDs wired by nature itself. Scientists called it “a cosmic lightbulb.” Intelligent design?

Helios Institute unveiled the Photon Resonance Core, claiming it converts ambient light into stable micro-energy packets. The prototype seen here powered a laptop for nine hours using only daylight. Critics called it impossible, but investors poured in millions. Two months later everyone went broke

The Quantum Toast Array, a device so advanced it could both bend space-time and evenly brown bread. When powered up, it emitted photons of pure curiosity and smelled faintly of victory and popcorn. Humanity declared it the greatest leap since Wi-Fi, until someone used it to charge a vape.

October 31 and flowers are still blooming in the state of Missouri. As an atheist, I won't say it's a miracle but I will say it's very unusual. #flowers #blooming #Halloween

Red flowers fade beneath the snow, their laughter gone where warm winds go. No crimson spark to chase the gray, just frozen dreams where gardens lay. I’ll miss their fire, their fleeting grace, winter feels colder in their place. #Poetry #Winter #Nature #SadBeauty

“Ghost in Transit”
He drifts between the yellow and the sun,
a whisper caught in second gear.
Shadows remember what motion forgets—
a ghost passing through the hive of day,
leaving only blur and breath behind.

A rope frayed by years still clings tight,
its strength forgotten, its purpose bright.
One bulb hums against the wind’s cold bite,
a filament heart refusing night.
We hold, we flicker, we fight the fade
in every worn knot, a vow remade.
