Early Autumn Medley

Autumn begins to peek into the green of summer with the promise of crisp days and healthy walks.
The camera calls us to capture the emerging color and the world becomes a photographer’s dream.
I love finding the pumpkins and the flowers and then feeling the fall air, all of which reminds us of the beauty of the seasons.

Roadside Daisies
Summer calls us to travel and then rewards us with its beauty.
Something as simple as daisies along the road can help us pause and rest a bit.
I always bring my camera along so that I might share these bits of respite with friends and family.

Morgan’s Forge
Watercolor on Paper

“A mile to the east on the wooded path, you will find a charming pub, a classic country churchyard and WWI grave, well-tended regardless of the season. Down the hill to the south, past steep vistas of grazing sheep, relax at yet another warm and welcoming pub. And, when day is done, come home to a cozy cottage in Milford, outside Bath, England, where a cozy fire and a good book help bring a wonderful day to a close. A little bit of heaven on earth.”

Historic Harrisville, New Hampshire
“This town is an amazing gem and right next door to Nelson, where we live. Indeed, at one point, it was part of Nelson! Separated out after the Civil War, to become a separate commercial entity, centered around the mill.” This image is from the Storehouse in Historic Harrisville, where Dr. Dierker has a little studio.

OR Mishap Cartoon

This one really happened! As a student witnessing this, I remember wondering if the surgeon intentionally tied his surgical scrubs too loosely…because he sure seemed to enjoy wiggling his hips when the nurse pulled his pants back up. 😉😊

IsIand Reflections

Curious rays of sun
peering over the horizon
scatter light through twilight’s perfection
dancing through lavender atmosphere
settle on whimsical waters
sparkling with enigmatic iridescence
mirroring a peaceful mountain
crimson, yet quiet
contemplating laughter of colorful fruits
rich with honeyed nectar
tumbling
through plush and emerald fauna
swelling and sighing with ease
breathe life to an eclectic assortment
from padding wildlife to icy gale
the rosy island
nutures freedom for reflections.
