Sleep Travel

-




My dreams
carry me away
to a land foreign
yet as familiar
as home

flying through
ancient temples
market streets
lush green
and mystical mountains.

I awaken
with tears of joy
and sorrow
for I am not there

until I return
my dreams
will embrace
the far off land
within my heart.

I do love your poems. So simple and so eloquent. A refreshing change from scratching my head to get meaning from obscure verses, though those have their place, too.

I'm very impressed with you. In more ways than one. What better way to your creativity, than through travel. Especially through the realm of sleep.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-

Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
