Art and Media Wednesday – High Line Park

A rundown rail track + natural re-seeding of indigenous plants + great idea for a new greenway = High Line Park in New York City

This is a brilliant idea and a beautiful follow through.

Art and Media Wednesday (on Thursday) – Paul Soupiset

I came across the work of Paul Soupiset recently, a fellow Texan (out of San Antonio) and a very creative and imaginative graphics designer and illustrator.

You can view a gallery of his work here and view his blog here.

Photographic Poetry – A Short Story of a Rock

The swirling mists rise slowly up from fields of ancient age sublime

The water ‘round a constant flow across the rolling land, a gentle source of life and sound

The mountains stand as stoic witnesses of life in all its fair and bittersweet expressions as the silence whispers memories of those who’ve come before

I watch the scenes that play throughout the eons long of trees that live and die, of waters fresh that come and flow and go, of men who live and build and worship He who made the glen in which I am and tell…

It is this God that now I softly praise.

Photographic Poetry – “A Short Story of Interstellar Travel”

Colorado Sunset

I ride my roller-coaster train from orb to orb across the vast expanse of cold, inviting space as I am hurtled forth to soon engage a painting bright and full of warming light and colors e’er intense and many hued to be received by matching eyes in many heads creating art or being used to paint a multi-facet piece of mastery of He who made the notion of creation and of beauty fair to see and feel and touch and smell, for Art of God is pleasure great and honor full, lo, here it comes, you’re soon to see my grand appearance, stay your hand, affix your eyes to be amazed and wonder at the beauty of explosions bright and filled with soaring majesty and wonderment to feel and know…

 

… now wait with quiet solitude and listen to the sight

Photographic Poetry – A Short Story of Friendship and Love

From Friendship to Love

 

It moved from “I like” to “I love” to “I do” and “I will, for all time, ’till the end when we die”

In sickness and health is our promise to love one another as husband and wife

Now Lovers, once friends; now friends, ever lovers, from yellow to red is the path our love treads

My heart is now hers and her heart is now mine, for all time, ’till the end when we die

Photographic Poetry – A Short Story of a Snow

Blowing Mountain Snow

 

The crisp and cold air whips my crystalline frame all around and atop all the proud mountain peaks standing high, sitting tall


I soar like a bird or a cloud on the wings of the wind as I dance and I sing making art in the sky


My heart sings with glee as I look down below at the beauty of snow and of tall craggy hills ever cool, ever stone


“I live such a life” do I think as I fly all around in the swarm of my crystalline brethren in skies swirling ‘round and around all the tall rocky giants, aloof, ever quiet in calm, cold repose
