HORSE SEASONS II – VISITING WITH HORSES – By Tim Olson

Leave a Comment / ARCHIVES, WITH FRIENDS & FAMILY /

During the years of my caring for horses I found that often our friends anticipated spending time with the horses.    Horses are social and curious  animals.  While we might enjoy a cup of tea with friends the ponies will gladly share a carrot or two.  They might greet a gathering with a whinny or add a snuffle or two, mostly they are attentive participants and eager for a stroke or two in the right places.  If time permits, they  might like to go for a stroll or maybe even a ride around the property.

Monday, October 25 is Keith Olson’s birthday and we are delighted to publish several of Keith’s photographs.  The poet Stanley Kunitz writes “That when you look back on a lifetime and think about what has been given to the world by your presence, your fugitive presence, inevitably you think of your art, whatever it may be, as the gift you have made to the world in acknowledgment of the gift you have been given, which is the life itself. ”  Thank you, Keith, for sharing with us your marvelous photographs of the world we live in everyday.

SALMON SUMMERS IX – SALMON SEINING SEASON -By Tim Olson

Leave a Comment / CONTRIBUTING WRITERS /

I’m a lower state kid and the seine season begins in Ballard with boat work and net work. In mid-June the Ballard seine fleet loads the net and stores for the cruise north on the inside Passage to Icy Straits in Southeastern Alaska.  Hopes are high for the “big season”and a broom on the mast signalling a catch of over one hundred thousand salmon.

The following is a photographic and poetic journey through a summer fishing season in the early nineteen-sixties.

October provides nature’s final burst of seasonal colors from the translucent yellow of the Eastern Red Bud Tree to the flaming red of the Burning Bush.  And the anticipation of witches and goblins at Halloween on October 31.

We invite you to view a photographic potpourri to celebrate the many facets of this season in home and garden!
