The cover of my first book of poems called "Held."There is a medium arch of various flowers curving around my name and stars floating around and beyond the title.
A photo of my family roasting in the sun with sunglasses on. We are each holding up our own trans color corsages made from tissue paper.
A bright rainbow between trees. An additional rainbow is slightly above and to the right but much more faded in the evening light.
A red tulip surrounded by white flowers. Sunshine and shadows surround the tulip.
Giant succulent leaves in California sunlight. The tips of the succulent are a little dark pink.
A crow with silky black feathers looking into a blue sky. There is a green tree in the background.
Daisies growing together in a blast of cheer. Yellow centers with delicate and friendly white petals.
Evening sunlight filtering through pine trees. Large golden beams are breaking through the branches.
Green snow capped mountains at Glacier National Park. They are partly tucked inside a grey cloud, and their reflection ripples beneath them in the lake at their feet.
A pale pink rose in winter. The petals are wrapped tight as they soak in a little sun.
Seed pod in sunlight and grass.
Two small candles lit in a dark room. The candle in the foreground is purple And the candle in the background is a pale pumpkin color. Their flames are reflecting on their glass candle holders.
A burnt forest between mountains. A young tree reached for the sky between older trees.
A group of pink roses bathed in sunlight. The top rose is almost transparent in places because the sun is so bright.
A dark photograph of a sneaker next to a gold necklace with a rose and a strange spherical ball. All cast in dim lighting.
A purple morning glory growing through a chain link fence. The white center of the flower is highlighted with sunlight, giving it a little glow.
A close up of a daffodil with a yellow fluffy center and white petals on the outer layer. Curvy green leaves with raindrops in the foreground and a few green stocks in the background.
A white feathered bird in captivity, leaning out from behind a tree branch, very silent looking. There are rocks in the background and the sunlight is filtered and soft.
A black cat with white whiskers peeking over a gutter and looking down at the viewer.
A bright blue sky background with a mossy roof at the base of the photograph. A little to the left is a seagull in flight, it's feathers flashing in the sunlight. A crow is flying nearby and a few crows are perched on a tree in the background.
A pink and orange sunrise with the silhouettes of trees and a roof beneath. There are a few tiny crows flying by at the top.
A photo of a short pine tree on the left in the foreground, with one distinct pinecone hanging from a branch. Middle of the photo is a rolling pine forest with greens and shadows. In the background, Mt. Hood, a snow covered volcano. The shadows around the volcano look blue.
Two crow silhouettes on a wire. The photo is a mix of wires on telephone poles and backyard bistro lightbulbs. The sky is a background of dusty peach with dark grey textures and clouds.
A pink and white carnation in soft light. A wrinkly green leaf shoots out underneath it. Pieces of two orange and yellow lilies are tucked next to the carnation, looking bright.
A nighttime shot in front of a gate. Behind the gate is the entrance of a church and along the path are hundreds of decorative Christmas lights. The pavement in the foreground is slick and reflects the decorative lights in a yellow-ish hue.
A woodsy scene with a fallen tree covered in a light snow. In the background a pine and various other trees soaked in golden light from the setting sun. A few leaves are lit in the sunbeams.
The warm yellow petals of a sunflower in soft light. The shadows in the center of the flower look like they are fading as the light pours down the middle.
Three miss covered tree trunks under an overcast sky. Each trunk is chunky with a thick overgrowth of ferns.
Here we have two elf characters, one on the left with a large carrot in hand, presumably to feed the reindeer, and one on the right with an apple in hand. And in the center, with great gusto, a reindeer with blue antlers. It appears this reindeer is behind a barrier and is popping over the wall with two dangling front legs to get a snack from elf friends.
A gush of rapids flooding between two high banks. Each bank has ferns and leaves.
A clover flower with its tips in sunlight. Each little white petal stretches upward creating a textured sphere. There is a miniscule bug chillin' on the stem. The background of the photo is a soft mixture of green lines from grass and white reflections from sunlight reflecting on dew.
A cement pier that jets into the ocean. Stormy skies overhead and a turbulent sea below.
Curved tree branches reaching toward a sky at sunset. The color is like the taste of a faded peach, deeply sweet and tired. There are a few raindrops with tree reflections dripping from the branches. One large pine in the background.
The viewer is looking through a chain link fence. The fence frames a torn and eaten sunflower stem, that has lost its bloom and ability to stand upright. The skies are grey with the faint hint of pale gold and the morning mist is slowly revealing the rest of the garden.
A closed dandelion blossom, yellow, like morning sun, set against a background of light and shadows and green life. The tips of the petals are warming themselves in the sun.
Two little mushrooms growing on a hollowed tree. The mushroom in the foreground has a delicate strand of spiderweb pulling to the left and off frame. The overcast light makes the white mushrooms look glowy.
A grouping of frosted and wrinkled berries. Red on top and decay on the bottom. One berry in the background has a reflective raindrop clinging to it.
A silhouette of trees with a fireball sunset in the background.
A dark grey ocean viewed from a height. On the left edge is a small cliff. The sky is pearly grey with clouds, like a tea with a generous helping of milk. In the background lie hazy mountains.
A pale yellow rose. The color reminds me how tea feels when it is just the right temp for sipping. The petals are covered in rain drops.
In the foreground, a group of branches and a few vines. One vine in the very front stretches across the scene with a triangular leaf and a few thorns. In the background, turbulent waters.
A large ocean wave crashing toward the viewer in black and white. The ocean in the background is dark.
The silhouette of a ship, sails are missing, and lines are everywhere. The horizon is peachy-gray, a soft morning color in the background. The light gently reflects on the water below.
A pink dahlia with curling petals in the center and an explosion of yellow in the middle. The top half of the flower is missing, as if plucked. In the background are two more dahlias, one pink and the other pink and white.
Various trees, mostly pine, in the foreground of the photo. The sky is a burning orange cloud bank.
Deep red flower with white tips, blooming like a huge star. So heavy with beautiful petals she droops under a canopy of weeds.
A white petaled flower (daisy) with sunshine filtering through the petals. The yellow center looks like a giant golden pancake.
A sunrise with pinks, blues, and golds, tucked behind a garden. In the foreground, a fence with barbed wire, and sidewalk alongside. Tree branches hang over the sidewalk, almost beckoning for passersby to keep walking.
A photo of a blue sky with shadowed clouds. The sun is peeking at the edge creating a bright silvery line across the ridge of one cloud. Dark pine trees stand below.
Two tiny, white mushrooms curving upward on the side of a tree hollow.
A red, pink, and yellow rose caught in the rain. The center of the rose is balled tight, as if asleep. The surrounding petals are partially open and partially protective.
Looking up while inside the forest, the sky is almost white overcast. One tree in particular looks witchy, as if a witch keeps secret spells tucked in the roots.
An unfolding yellow rose with red and pink flecks scattered across the petals.
Little pink puff ball flowers gathered at the top of a sunny cliff. Blue ocean in the background.
