Hi friends, here’s another little glimpse at my little bit of Alaska. It was fairly chilly, relatively speaking, for a few weeks but now it’s been in the warm high-teens to mid-twenties (Fahrenheit degrees)… excluding wind chill of course. I can’t believe how warm it’s been and how little snow we’ve gotten. I hope that […]
awaken, dreamer stretch and rise from your pillow there are stars held in the palm of your hand glitter in the corner of your eye glance and just miss the rustle of wings passing by flutter-by, flutter-by, flit, flirt, sip and fly on by the morning sun rises fresh dew on the windowsill I’m waiting […]
feather-soft, I trail fingers through waters deep and wide reaching beneath the surface touch all the real places covered by your depths cupping my hands I taste, with greedy lips all the things you never say (are they for me, your words?) inexplicably, I know you, feel you verses weave and wend picking up the […]
Hello friends, I’d like to share with you another set of photos. In these, I was thinking about texture. I hope you enjoy them. Ash clouds after volcano eruption. Anchor Point, Alaska Snow in ocean channel. Douglas, Alaska Peach leaf. Washington Wheat field. Washington Can’t remember the name of this plant. Wheat and lentil fields […]
First, cold, blinded, aimless the cold of distant loneliness blinded by the mundane aimless wandering with no real reason insignificant of little worth or value Then, a blue light glimmers gleams in the distance stood transfixed watering eyes produce frozen tears hand lifted, reaching, stretching could this be? breath held And again, hope wiggles in […]

Almost home, about a mile to go… High tide ocean ice flow. Fresh bunny trail. Local volcano, resting in the evening sun. Sunset from my […]
One afternoon at the beach, I met with a murder (or mob… I think I prefer mob…) of crows. I flew amongst their midst and was accepted. *No audio, it was such a windy day all you could hear on the video was wind. tara caribou | ©2021 video by me
It’s no secret I’m a night owl. I could probably count the number of sunrises I’ve actually seen on two hands… I might be exaggerating, because where I live here in Alaska in summer, sunrise and sunset aren’t too far apart. I’ve been awake to witness the rise about the time I’m going to sleep… […]
arctic fox lifts a paw, slides silently forth, starts, pauses, darts forward and claims a lusty prize for her children three, turns and dashes off, tail low, mouth full, hurriedly growls and grunts heard from atop the carcass of an old moose, wolverine twists and tears frozen flesh, cares not for wolf or cold, only […]
It was cold. Really cold. In fact, it hadn’t been over negative Fahrenheit for over a month, and it was only January. Winter lasts a long time in Alaska. It would be another two months before it would raise past single digits. Just a few days prior I had suffered a traumatic physical experience which […]
