Lizzie...expressed her concern to Grandma and Mom. “She might take him with her, y’all; don’t y’all worry about that at all?”

A pastel painting done on site near Drake Colorado in 1997. The scene is of Palisade Mountain, with an old hollow tree in the foreground, a living pine on the right, with rocky outcroppings in the middle ground and the peaks of Palisade in the background. Colors are a brilliant blue sky behind a gray-gold rocky peak and outcroppings, and a golden tall grass field I’d knocked out my original note at bottom years back on Photoshop so you didn’t see the words anymore. Until I found this scan just now, I’d logged it in my head that this was drawn up around Pike’s Peak

🌙 'Palisade over Drake,' #pastel A #pleinair work done back in October 1997 on Bobcat Ridge, Colorado.

Hey everybody! I'm hard at work, up against a deadline, but will be back soon!

Tributaries at Poinsett State Park #TheParkwaysProjects

A location which is day by day becoming a bit closer to the present day waves on the Atlantic shoreline, its once and future home. 🌙🦉🪔

A scene, a little bit ominous, depending upon your point of view, perhaps. It is the lowlands, just below & adjacent to the remnant white sands of the Carolinas Sandhills region. It is a South Carolina State Park. It is where in many ways, my love of Parks & America's Recreation Areas began, although at the age of three to seven years old, I would never have been allowed to wander into these arenas, for this is a tributary to a swamp. It is the portal some of us adhere to in our reveries, our visualizations. It is to others a threatening place, full of danger & omnipresent latent fears; somewhat founded trepidations, for there are more folks today Nature considers a threat than they do her. They should be the wiser but there is no indication of such at hand. I place my bet on Nature, for our world is trying to shake us off like a dog would rid themself of fleas. When this Earth finally shakes in earnest, we will be gone. At the same time, we will always haunt the Earth's surface, no matter it's configuration & we will be stymied by loss of orientation, for I doubt we will recognize even our own homes & birthplaces. We will be lucky to recognize the wake of our own immediately trailing currents, our passages, our departures. If you were to be standing here on this spot, at the same time of year of this photo being made, you would be seeing an emergence of spring, new grayish-green leaves in the softness of their velvety bloom. A sonorous enclave of otherwise quiet & subdued beauty, until you inch closer to the waters. Then you see & hear the Life teeming beneath the reflection of blue skies above, leaves & sky providing camouflage of faded shades of the brown spectrum & the darkness of the water where the gray bark turns to black, mirroring your face as you wonder at the beauty of such existence. A black mirror indeed. This is a panoramic image of three blackwater tributary streams converging within Poinsett State Park, between Sumter and Santee, SC.

Yay! 🌙💙🦋 I finally reached 600 followers for what I know is a very esoteric, historically inclined allegorical account 🌙🦉🪔
