Riding Route 8
October 13, 2019

It was a crisp but beautiful fall morning to go Riding on Route 8. Heading west from Anderson Ferry, the chilly autumn air gave us momentary pause, but we pressed on. Approximately 10 miles of rolling hills along the scenic Ohio River take you passed farms, parks, and fields. We stopped at McGlasson Farms to enjoy a tradition of hot cider and apple fritters. I considered picking up a pumpkin but decided there were no pockets large enough to hold...

James Bradley - Abolitionist
June 15, 2019

Light Therapy At Night

Lighted Fountains At Dusk

Murphy and I spent the evening with a photographer friend, looking for light along the riverside parks in Cincinnati. This image, entitled Lighted Fountains at Dusk, feels sophisticated. Visions of black ties, evening gowns, and champagne pass through my imagination. A wisp of Bix Beiderbecke, or Benny Goodman hang in the air. Well heeled passengers queue up to board a finely appointed Pullman rail car at Union Terminal for destinations unknown. I...

Morning Light In Spring
April 15, 2019

There is an awesome power in nature. From the magnitude of energy expended to burst forth life, or its ability to inspire our imagination, it is a wonder to behold. This majestic ent, radiating with the morning light in spring, gives me hope. Hope for the future. Hope in a new day to learn from the stumbles of yesterday. Hope to shed the cloak of negativity and indifference, and don the raiment of all that is possible when we dare to believe in...
