Happy Valentine's Day!
Today, I am featuring a videoetry about love, of course. It all started when I was driving last week with a printed photo on the dash of my car. I noticed a reflection in the window with two people kissing and a sunset view of the road in the background. I stopped the car immediately and took a picture.
Knowing Valentine's Day was just around the corner, I decided to create a videoetry about my romance using scenery around our home. Remember, I feel blessed to have a poetic hubby! Happy Valentine's Day!

Come On Baby, Light My Fire!
Happy Sunday!
It is Valentine's weekend and so I thought fireworks would be appropriate. This videoetry is based on a poem that my husband wrote about fireworks over Lake Tahoe. He makes a very interesting observation.
And for the record, I feel I am very blessed that my Valentine can wax poetic! :) Please click the following to enjoy "Twice The Show."

TGIF
Ah, the weekend is upon us. Hopefully I'll score some time to work on more videoetries! It is Valentine's weekend. Maybe I can make one to express love before Monday.
But today, I want to highlight a videoetry about Sandia Peak in Albuquerque, New Mexico. What a byooootiful spot on this earth! The tram will cost you, but it's the longest on this earth and well worth the money. Or if you're terrified of heights, you can drive up the back of the mountain to the top.
However you get there, just enjoy the view!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow...
OK, so maybe the whole US may have seen a bit too much snow this winter. Hey, snow in Atlanta? Mississippi and Alabama? Many feet of snow already in Tahoe? (OK, that might not be such a stretch...) Whew!
But this videoetry I am featuring today is set in a place where snow is ALWAYS around. Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. My family was able to have a semi-comfortable picnic in this alpine wonderland at the pinnacle of the park over 10,000 feet above sea level.
And this is what I was inspired to write about - http://www.youtube.com/user/Videoetry#p/u/6/sPoAn9-2Eis

A Little "Chat With Sam"
Happy Saturday!
Today's videoetry comes from some photos I took in Santa Fe, New Mexico in the same stunning garden from which "Circle of Peace" was created. I absolutely loved the statue of Mark Twain and, in the complete photo, I'm sitting with him looking like we're in conversation. Oh, if only I could pick his brain for a day!
He is without a doubt one of my idols. I loved his humor and his storytelling. In light of the recent debate over changing his words, this videoetry is maybe a bit of a metaphor - like a statue, we should keep the stories he told "ensconced" in the time frame in which they were created.

Would love your opinion on it! Have a great weekend!

Mother Nature's Kiss
TGIF, Everyone!
Today, I want to highlight one of the first videoetries I placed on my YouTube channel. It is called "Mother Nature's Kiss" and I wrote it in honor of a beautiful cliff at Yosemite National Park. The image caused me to quickly pull the car over and walk back down the road to catch the perfect shot.
The sun created a shadow on the rock face (literally) that looked like lips. I thought of how it could be Mother Nature herself kissing all of us, the spellbound tourists. Enjoy!

Wyoming Acrobats
Good morning!
Today I bring the circus to town - not! Just a little haiku about the wind fields in Wyoming that we saw as we crossed the beautiful cowboy country. I have heard folks talk about the magnitude of these fields and I have seen pictures, but it is another thing to be rolling along and come across one.

Have a wonderful day!
