Shade Tree

beautiful, Nature, photography, poem, poetry 1 Minute 
under a blistering
      tropical sun,

suffocating heat 
   drove us to
      find shade,

   we found a
beautiful tree,
      and shade.


      that day we 
found the beach
   with no name,

      where only
locals ever went.

   visitors could
   go elsewhere,
to famous places.

   we went native,
and benefitted

      from local 
      kindnesses
and friendship.

I make photos to make myself feel good; I share in hope of making you feel good. I do as much as I can in the camera, but it does not always end there. Part of making an image in the 21st century is processing a captured image in the computer. This is like dodging and burning in the darkroom of yesterday. (I've done that.) I use Photoshop cc and Lightroom cc. The result is not always what I saw, maybe what I wish I saw. Sometimes, the resulting image is a creation more than a recording. Most of the time, I keep it believable and realistic. I have a Bachelor's degree in Creative Writing. I have shared thousands of my poems on the internet, to a considerable audience and I'm considering making a selection of them, in a book or books.
