Thinking of You

I have this obsession with trains now, since you have passed.
When I see a train, or just a track I feel so close to you.

I can smile when i think of you, knowing that i have the memories and the things you taught me with me. I know you are with me where i go, and no matter what you will continue to guide me and love me. I have your words in my heart and you smile in my memory. To know you are no longer suffering is a true blessing. I will still miss you, but know when i need you, you will be there. Love you always and forever, until we meet again, save me a seat ♥

God saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not to be...
So he put his arms around you, and whispered, "come with me".
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer and saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating;working hands were put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

In Memory of Ed McCabe.
Love you, Grandpa.

Wildlife

Wildlife has so much to teach us. These animals live off the land, as we once did.
Watching birds fly, bugs crawl, and all the creature live is more than words can say.
They each have a story, personality, lifestyle, much like we do.
Enjoy.

Proving a Point

This is a self nude portrait that I took for my final in a class. The statement is to promote the use of students to pose nude. These nudes are artistic and show the beauty of the human body. If the student is willing and knows all the conditions of the photo, what is the big deal? After all, we are attending and ART SCHOOL!

Childhood Memories

This story is dedicated to my grandfather. He has great pride in his collection and the trains he owns. He has been collecting since he was a child and he love it. The best thing about he said was, "... They remind you that there is something bigger out there. " My grandfather has taught me so much and cherishing memories is one of them. These are just some of the trains he has and parts of the set up. His basement is the Train Room, he has wall to wall trains as well a whole town. This story is for you grandpa! Thank you for everything.
