Sweet Lily, The Wonder Dog

Terry ShipleyComment

This is my wonderful Lily.
Her favorite day is when she can chase
squirrels around the yard, dig up voles,
track down lizards, and bark at the wind.

She spends her late mornings
sleeping on a soft cushion,
hopefully in the sunshine.

Lily will hide all the loose socks
then give you a look that says,
"who me?"

The Clinton Library and the Arkansas River in November

Terry ShipleyComment

Spent an afternoon last week on the grounds of the Clinton Library in Little Rock, Arkansas .It was a perfect cool and overcast day along the Arkansas River with Kathy and Macy. I was fascinated with the 1899 Rock Island Railroad Bridge. It is now a pedestrian bridge to North Little Rock.

The view from the Clinton Library over the river was so moody and gray....just perfect. The architect, James Polshek, used the proximity of the river for the cantilevered portion of the building. I love the lines.
 

Flowers

There is endless inspiration from the flowers in my garden and I hate to say good bye as the season changes.

"The daisy follows soft the sun, 
And when his golden walk is done. Sits shyly at his feet. 
He, waking, finds the flower near... 
We are the flower, Thou the sun! Forgive us, if as days decline..."

Emily Dickinson
