Fallen Rider by Bryan Peterson

This image was captured at a US Civil War reenactment last spring in Port Gamble, WA. From the reactions of the horse and rider I don’t believe that this fall was part of the show—but it did add realism. Both got up after the tumble shook themselves off and continued the show no worse for the experience.

Anyway, I ran from our car, to get this quick shot of Abraham Lincoln statue. I WAS FREEZING!

Hummers at Sunset by Dennis Penny

Humming-Bird / D.H. Lawrence I can imagine, in some otherworld / Primeval-dumb, far back / In that most awful stillness, that only gasped and hummed, / Humming-birds raced down the avenues. Before anything had a soul, / While life was a heave of matter, half inanimate, / This little bit chipped off in brilliance / And went whizzing through the slow, vast, succulent stems. I believe there were no flowers then, / In the world where the humming-bird flashed ahead of creation. / I believe he pierced the slow vegetable veins with his long beak. Probably he was big / As mosses, and little lizards, they say, were once big. / Probably he was a jabbing, terrifying monster. We look at him through the wrong end of the telescope of Time, / Luckily for us.
Burney Falls by Dennis Penny

The park is within the Cascade Range and Modoc Plateau natural region, with forest and five miles of streamside and lake shoreline, including a portion of Lake Britton. The park’s centerpiece is the 129-foot Burney Falls, which is not the highest or largest waterfall in the state, but possibly the most beautiful. Additional water comes from springs, joining to create a mist-filled basin. Burney Creek originates from the park’s underground springs and flows to Lake Britton, getting larger along the way to the majestic falls. The park’s landscape was created by volcanic activity as well as erosion from weather and streams. This volcanic region is surrounded by mountain peaks and is covered by black volcanic rock, or basalt. Created over a million years ago, the layered, porous basalt retains rainwater and snow melt, which forms a large underground reservoir. Within the park, the water emerges as springs at and above Burney Falls, where it flows at 100 million gallons every day. Burney Falls was named after pioneer settler Samuel Burney who lived in the area in the 1850s. The McArthurs were pioneer settlers who arrived in the late 1800s. Descendants were responsible for saving the waterfall and nearby land from development. They bought the property and gave it to the state as a gift in the 1920s

The Hummingbird by Dennis Penny

The Hummingbird / by Angel L. Villanueva I opened my eyes, / And there she was, / The hummingbird. / Funny how fragile she is… / And yet, so powerful in flight. / I gaze in amazement as she hovers, / Searching for that one flower, / To give her what she so desires. / Selectively, carefully, she searches. / The hummingbird. / What a beautiful creature. / As I admire her, / I can’t help but to think… / What if I’m the flower she searches for? / I smile…and close my eyes. / There is no creature that compares to her… / The hummingbird
