This Is My Life…

It’s hard to have one picture sum up your life. This photo comes pretty close. It’s missing some key elements, like my new girlfriend, my job etc… but all things considered, It's close.

I caught this photo today just as my pal “Peanut” came by to say hello. I saw the potential for a cool chipmunk portrait and eased my phone low to the ground for a chipmunk level exposure. It's used to me now, and doesn't panic when I move slowly. I couldn't see the screen, but I snapped a few hoping to get lucky.

When I looked at my photo, I realized it was pure gold.. to me anyway.

“Peanut” is a resident chipmunk I’ve known for years. Chipmunks make good neighbors.

The bike is heavily present in my life right now. I ride Wednesday and Sunday. I took on 44 miles yesterday.

The studio is my muse, my opus. The screen door is one of my latest projects. And its appearance has greatly improved my appreciation for good air and good light.

The apple tree represents my love for natural food, and cultivation. The Art Garden is aptly named. I want to entwine both into my life.

Finally, the logs screwed together forming the left side of the photo show my latest functional art piece: Im building a deck of back forest logs and timber…

Above all, it’s a lush summer scene. This scene is full of bounty and my appreciation for life.

It’s a good photo. It’s a better life.
