Hi, folks. The estimable Manuela Timofte, editor of Gobblers by Masticadores, has shared another of my nature photography images titled  “Rocks & Tower at Big Spring Canyon.”  Thank you, Manuela, for publishing this photograph of the high desert region of my part of the world. Very much appreciated.

    1. Thanks a bunch, Beth. I’m sort of fortunate to be surrounded by some amazing landscapes here in southwest Colorado. Some physical problems prevent me from partaking in photography nowadays and I really miss it, but sharing my old images here and at Gobblers brings back some good memories. 😊

    1. Thanks so much, Maggie. Always a pleasure to share, for sure. I’m glad you enjoyed this photograph. It was a delight to create, and I’ve always loved those storm clouds that add so much character to the scene. 😊

      1. You have a good eye for it Mike.
        Do you still take photographs ?
        I am completely usrless I am afraid.
        I love seeing other parts of the world my friend.
        It is such a beautiful place, we would look after it better.
        Best always Mike, keep doing what you love.

    2. Ah, photography… I’m no longer able to take part in this wonderful artistic pursuit. I have some physical problems with my legs and feet (peripheral neuropathy–numbness and pain, and swelling due to congestive heart failure) so I haven’t been able to drive for more than six years, and walking is troublesome for me now, so I’m pretty much homebound and reclusive at age 61. I miss being in nature terribly, which is probably why I’ve written so many poems about nature. It’s the only way I can experience it now. In a perfect world, I’d still be out there hiking and exploring and making images every day. So, it’s actually a little bittersweet to share my photos. I love sharing them because they bring back such blissful memories (nature photography was the joy to my dark poetry’s sorrow), but the longing and regret over not being able to create images is palpable even now. I suppose if I could offer unsolicited advice to anyone, it would be to take advantage of opportunities while you still can because you never know when things may change drastically for the worse.

      Thanks for your kindness, my friend. 😊

      1. Mike my friend you are such a kind, big hearted person.
        I cannot imagine not being able to drive or get around when you have been used to that.
        It is with pleasure that we all see your beautiful photographs.
        I am glad that you have an outlet in your writing, and I hope you never stop.
        Yes, in the days of our youth, we have no idea how cruel life can be 🙃 .
        If we knew then what we know now !.
        Look after yourself.
        I hold you in high esteem Mike, not only as a writer but also as a friend..
        Thank you for being here.
        Much love to you 🤗

      1. You’re most welcome, dear Mike 😊
        The way you describe the desert makes it feel even more sacred — that vast, silent expanse where everything seems to slow down and reveal its deeper layers. I imagine that kind of quiet offers a different kind of companionship, one that lets you connect with yourself and the world in a way most people never fully experience.

        Your perspective adds such richness to the landscape. It’s beautiful how you find meaning in the stillness and let it speak to you in its own way. Thank you for sharing a glimpse of that inner world, my dear friend.
