The island view is fresh in my mind, the riverside stance capturing the skyscrapers in a way that makes me ponder and reflect on the majestic intellect of human kind. As part of nature, the grass blades, tinctured by the red roses in the foreground, clarifies my view of what I see in front of me, in a photo that speaks of romance in colourful shades. The view is reminiscent of childhood dreams, of sitting by a riverside in the cool, fresh breeze, with a river view that we find in romantic novels, my life in review, my perspective changes                                        of frequent daydreams.

Frank (https://glaciermt.com/blog/happy-100-years-national-park-service) Centennial Ode to the National Parks The drive pass the mountain peaks at Glacier are steadfast foundations even in the August heat that stands upright - grand and palatial; giving my heart, that awesome; Reverential thudding beat. How can this be a hundred years that have graced our land? When our forefathers walked peacefully through the rugged territory, With many a Tale told for future generations to understand, To marvel at and pass down to their families. The rocks and stones in the lakes have seen many go by, along the banks, that are trodden on for centuries past; holding back tales that would make a grown man cry – of sorrows of a homeland that are now museum artefact plates encast. Human failings...

(c) Traveler On the Backroads with Christa Pike Kofford Picnic not made in China Tomatoes, salad, sausage rolls, on a plate made in China near cubed sandwiches with salmon paté packed with beef and horse radish, in containers from that mainland where most household items are made, spread across the wooden table, made somewhere nearby. I can see it in the style of the wood, and the quaint wooden seats. The rustic look, found in many a rural District in European countries. But this is an American experience so the table and setting are slightly different. The meat, sandwiches and salads almost the same. Spread neatly across a wooden table, With lager, freshly squeezed juices of oranges and cranberry.  Bags of ice from Publix if you're in the area.  Never knew why it's called that. Near puberty. Near adulthood and garden fetes than a park lunch. Not made in China.  The quality as good.  The food outstanding. Who can resist a noodle salad ...

Painting (c) Jackie Gardiner An artist's stamp A Van Gogh or a Cezanne I utter. It's the influence, I gather. The unique style, I understand. The pastel oils, I garner.  So relevant to any wall, I estimate.  Bringing life to a room, In discussion. The focus of a lively, Intimate interaction. It's the style, I gather.  The unrefutable claim, Undeniable and inspiring. In oils almost indigo, innate, with- In. Its subtleness, alive In swirls. An artist's stamp in Invisible curls. Intimate and invincible. (c) nature thoughts nw

NPS Photo Russel Smith Feed me Not Feed me not. However much I plead. My apparel is pleasing. My charm, Endearing. But Feed me not, I'm No domiciled creature. Feed me Not. Is Rocky Mountain's plea.
