Lady or the Tiger?

Sunrise 5:26 AM June 6, 2016.
Adriatic Sea. Vasto Marina, Italy.

This peaceful early morning moment was sandwiched between two slices of mild excitement. In order to see the sun over the Adriatic Sea, I had to jump over a little wall outside the bedroom window and walk across the roof. Once I had finished watching the sunrise, I turned around to return to my room and discovered that all of the rooms looked alike.

So I made my best guess and climbed over what I thought was my little wall and then wondered why the door to the bedroom was closed. It wasn’t until I saw a pair of legs and some red boxer shorts approach the window from the other side that I realized that this was not my room- not my window- not my balcony and hopped over the wall as fast as I could.


My apologies to the man I disturbed this morning. Hopefully a day in paradise will heal all.

As the World Turns

Sunset 8:23 PM. May 14, 2016

You'd think traveling at 750 miles per hour would feel faster than this... Sunset at La Esquina Gallery in Kansas City, MO during a recent presentation and performance. At this latitude it takes a little more than 2 minutes from the time the bottom of the sun touches the horizon until it completely disappears.

Good morning! Listen to those birds! After five inches of snow last weekend, I am finally beginning to believe spring is really here.
