Morning Thoughts
Each room flooded with light. The floor is warm and fuzzy and in the middle the puppy sleeps. I watch ducks and geese land with grace and belly-flops into the pond and squirrels stretch their winter legs. I still last evening’s sunset and today I feel alive.

Poem – As Years Pass
A quiet moment as the sun sets. Fields emerging from thinning snow. What is distant is near – train horn and coyotes cause us to look over tree tops into the horizon. Logically I know the concept of time, a forward motion from here to there, from present to future – a progression – time…

Dreaming, Alaskan sunshine
It’s been 3-months since I reluctantly returned home from Alaska. Which is slowly becoming a second home. Not just physically, but within my heart, soul, and mind. The sun rising over mountains, setting behind triangular peaks, and glacial lakes surrounded by boulders, has wrapped around every thought I have and tries to influence every action.…

Poem – Walk, this winter evening
Early winter walk around the lake hidden within the city. Further in and background noise fades to nothing. And the sky explodes with deep, dark colors captured in the ice and the motionless canoe.

Feelings deep within I do not…

Drawn into the space away from concrete and glass. Quiet, personal reflection amplifies, becomes front and center. Chatter, chaos, the fray put on-hold (it…

Lutsen Basked in Light
A few photos from a recent trip to Lutsen on Lake Superior. Basked in cold light the shoreline glowed with radiant heat from the sun transitioning from Winter to Spring.

Photos – Lutsen
I posted a new gallery from Lutsen, October 2012, that continues my obsession with sunrises and sunsets. It can be viewed here: www.williamricciphotography.com.

Through The Window
Miles long cloud columns extending from the setting sun on this summer evening. A partial view of something so beyond myself, my place, my sense of being that it becomes the start, a first chapter of a new journey, I am finally resolving within to accept and wrap tired arms around. I vow to wait…
