I have decided, after so many layers I have lost count, that this paper is just not made for colored pencil.
*Sigh*

Another foggy morning at the park. The heron watches for breakfast and I work on my book while we share a companionable silence.

The fog is rushing along the river like it has someplace it desperately needs to be.

Evening by the river with eagles.

The great blue heron stands hunched against the cold while I sit in my car, writing.

It is a cold, foggy day in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. See the great blue heron keeping watch from its little rocky outcrop in the river?

I found this ladybug larva in late November. Huh. I have yet to fully grow up, too. Never lose your curiosity, my friends.

Curiosity = Life

Writing at the Park

It finally feels like fall in Oklahoma.

Hello, botanists, horticulturists, gardeners, and flower fans. Can anyone identify the plant in this picture? There's even a bonus butterfly.

A single late October rose seeking its full potential.

My shadow watching me.

Does this pile of leaves look like a strange winged creature with a glowing eye to you? Just me?

Happy National Day on Writing 2025.
I'm at the park, writing. What are you doing to celebrate?
October 20, 2025 at 5:57 PM
I stand between the thunder and the twilight: sunset side and coming night side. Happy Spooky Season, my friends.

A senate of herons stands among the waves. While I await their decision, I will write.
October 17, 2025 at 2:15 PM
What strange magic is this?
October 17, 2025 at 12:01 AM
What would be the name for a group of herons? Would it be a joy of herons?

Another day beside the river with herons. A happy heart makes for good writing.
October 15, 2025 at 1:31 PM
Morning with the herons.

Recovering from the fire.

A rainbow at the end of a workday feels like a big slice of magic.

The sky is on fire
With Halloween orange
And my heart's desire.
The sky is on fire.

Webs clinging to trees, bidding welcome to Halloween.

The fog creeps along the meadow, bringing dreams with it. Dreams or nightmares, beginnings or endings, no one quite knew. And so, we all watched from a respectful distance as the sun pulled and stretched it into our destinies.
