Retired from being a workaholic, I’m an introvert at heart, currently getting lost in nature, haiku, poetry, and photography. I look forward to losing myself in your work / words too ☮️
Bird Watching a Bird Watching Her Birds For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #BestOfJuly - I spotted a Northern Mockingbird taking a high post on a pine tree, to keep an eye on her offspring in the distance as they learn to be independent #birds #nature #wildlife #photography #ECK #naturephotography
an essence however faint an inner beauty of which I could never paint she’s alluring but allusive and I am ashamed coveting what I will never obtain to her subtle #temptation I stay chained #vss365 #poetry #macro #nature #ECK #photography #naturephotography #bloomscrolling #ImageAndVerse #painting
algorithmic fame leaves as soon as it arrives… the moon holds the light #vss365 #arrive #haiku #poetry #moon #scape #nature #ECK #photography #naturephotography #monochrome #ClassicMono #ImageAndVerse #art #painting
bend over backwards to avoid being shot… camera shy A male #NorthernCardinal bends backwards, like Keanu Reeves in The Matrix, dodging my attempt to take a clear photo of his head. #BirdoftheDay #YourChoice #birds #nature #wildlife #ECK #naturephotography #haiku #poetry #art #painting
#BirdOfTheDay theme is #EmeraldBackdrop showing a bird with a green background. A Red House Finch pauses for a photo while walking along a wooden fence. Blurred green trees provide for a nice textured background. #birds #nature #wildlife #ECK #naturephotography #finch #birdphotography
Sweet dreams interrupted Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Grey I found this #MourningDove taking a mid-day nap ‘til I made a noise. She has grey eyelids that match the grey tones in her feathers. #BirdOfTheDay #bird #birdphotography #ECK #birds #photography #nature #wildlife #NaturePhotography
Higher Ground for years, the summit was my destination…now each step teaches me #vss365 #summit #haiku #poetry #MountainMonday #NorthernCascades #ForestFriday #PNW #photography #ECK #WestCoastKin #ImageAndVerse #nature #NaturePhotography #scape #mountain #clouds #forest #lake #art #painting
#BirdOfTheDay theme is #OneTwoThreeFour - four photos with 1, 2, 3, 4 of the same birds in each. Northern Mockingbird siblings gather on my yard’s fence line, one by one. #birds #nature #wildlife #ECK #naturephotography #birdphotography
#BirdOfTheDay #EyeOfTheWild –piercing eye or eyes Alt #LastBird - last bird/ birds on your camera roll. Two photos of a vulture circling over my neighborhood on a sunny afternoon this week
Lost in Space solar winds shift and the moon grows darker as she drifts away… becoming harder to reach with each passing day #vss365 #shift #haiku #tanka #poetry #ECK #photography #ImageAndVerse #moon #scape #ClassicMono #monochrome #Nature #NaturePhotography #art #painting
Flyover… For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #SummerLovin … a Northern Mockingbird blows by, tickling the tops of a patch of Black-eyed Susan wildflowers. #birds #bird #photography #ECK #birdsofbluesky #nature #NaturePhotography #flowers #flowerpower #garden
When Doves Fly… So unassuming with their soft coos, Mourning Doves always surprise me with their wing span!! #BirdOfTheDay #ScreenFiller #bird #birdphotography #ECK #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky #nature #wildlife #NaturePhotography #wildlifephotography
Landing Zone… A Cabbage White Butterfly arrives on time with a smooth landing for your #ButterflyWeek #photography #ECK #nature #NaturePhotography #flowers #bloomscrolling #butterfly #FlowerPower #art #painting #poetry
Full Stop my wild thoughts flitting, fluttering about… conquered by you #vss365 #conquer #haiku #poetry #ECK #photography #Macro #MacroMonday #Butterfly #SwallowTail #sunflower #bloomscrolling #ImageAndVerse #Nature #NaturePhotography #art #painting
the poet’s aloof… while the grackle crackles from atop his roof #PaintByWords #Roof #Poetry #Haiku #photography #ECK #birds #nature #HumanNature #anxiety #introvert #ClassicMonochrome
unabashedly a tiny sunflower readies its bloom even the smallest can change the world #vss365 #unabashed #DailyHaikuPrompt #sunflower #haiku #tanka #ECK #photography #MacroMonday #MinimalMonday #ImageAndVerse #bloomscrolling #Nature #NaturePhotography #art #painting
crazy moon… forfeiting freedom to orbit a planet your magnetism is my straightjacket #vss365 #magnetism #HaikuFeels #Orbit #haiku #tanka #poetry #ECK #photography #ImageAndVerse #moon #scape #Nature #NaturePhotography #art #painting
#BirdOfTheDay #BestSideEye comes from two American Robins, each staring me down as I dare to interrupt dinner time…all apologies 🫤
A #HouseSparrow for your #BirdOfTheDay looking #UpAndDown while perched on a rusted iron basketball hoop in my yard. Then she flew right at me!! #Birds #flight #ECK #photography #BirdPhotography #Nature #NaturePhotography #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #art #painting #poetry
let me tell you about the end this crazy picture thru my lens where we let down our defense yes, we’re both together sharing moments of laughter frolicking under the midnight sun forgetting what can’t be undone #vss365 #frolic #poetry #ECK #photography #moon #scape #ImageAndVerse #art #painting

I could use some positivity today, how about you? even though there are deep valleys to traverse and steep mountains to climb know you are enough leave apprehension behind #vss365 #apprehension #poetry #haiku #tanka #ECK #photography #mountains #scape #NaturePhotography #ImageAndVerse
wish I was a pioneer on open prairie land I’d disappear chopping wood & killing steer curing meat to cure my starvation fear but in the cold I’d falter wanting u near I’d write u a poem #florid & sincere seems wild desire can never be tamed my dear #vss365 #ECK #photography #ImageAndVerse #poetry
