Meet Goliath


Perhaps one of the strangest collections you will ever see.
Space Farms is truly an American roadside attraction.
Goliath, one of the largest Kodiak bears in captivity, 
now graces the entrance hall as a twelve foot centerpiece.
Both a zoo and museum, this place is endlessly fascinating.
Space Farms houses the most eclectic and unusual exhibits: 
a menagerie of wild animals, taxidermy, antique cars, farm equipment, 
rifles, and the curious ephemera of the Space family.

Love Struck


My dear Starlings
Star-crossed. Just like Romeo and Juliet.
A little noir. A little tragic. A little Elizabethan.
She said it was the Nightingale.
He said it was the Lark.

Flutter By


Flitting away


this summer day


on mossy rocks


and tiny moths.

Chorus


The cicadas are all around us.


Humming in the trees.
A big buggy chorus. Very loud.


These little creatures are available in my shop.

Take Ten



Sometimes you have to take ten.
A little time out in the day. 


It's summertime after all. 
Why not take a dip at the village pool?


Maybe work tomorrow.

Archive | Eating Flies


I've been thinking about making a book of watercolors.
So, I went looking through my old books.
Remembering, reminiscing.

This one is called Eating Flies.
It is an accordion style book, which I made in 2000.


How time flies.

Old Bay


A trip to Annapolis, Maryland ...


Would not be complete without a visit to Cantler's.


Our favorite crab house.


Sitting outside in the hot summer sun.


Eating Maryland Blue Crabs with dear friends.
A delicious day seasoned with lots of Old Bay.
