FIRE DEPARTMENT VOLUNTEERS
They’re brave and hearty
and have no fear,
They are the Fire
Department volunteers.
They may be young and
somewhat green,
But these rookies are
very keen.
From their duties they
never sway,
For they hope to be real
firemen one day.
So when you see them,
give them a cheer,
They are the Fire
Department volunteers.

FISHING AT HUNTER’S COVE
The
day melts down to a sleepy, red glow, the fish have stopped biting, the
water has barely a ripple, a boy and his dog enjoy the last dying
minutes of a perfect afternoon quietly awaiting the enveloping darkness
at Hunter’s Cove.

FISHING BY THE MILLSTREAM BRIDGE
It’s summertime and the
livin’ is easy
In the shade of a big old
pepperidge,
An idyllic way to spend
the day,
Fishing by the Millstream
Bridge.
The old willow tree sways
in the breeze,
It’s a day for
daydreaming and wishing,
Listening to lazy buzzing
bees,
By the Millstream Bridge
and fishing.

THE
FOREST HAS EYES
As I pass through
the lush, green forest, I inhale the scent
of Mother
Earth's loving embrace. All that surrounds me pulsates and ripples with
the melodious rhythms of life, as the forest silently watches.
Gazing at
the forest, I see her uncompromising strength and feel her eyes on me,
as she stands sentinel here in this unending beauty.

FREEDOM OF
SPEECH
The art of
Norman Rockwell of a simpler
time has gained in both resonance and stature. His Freedom Of
Speech, 1943, is masterful portrayal of democracy in action.

FRIENDSHIP
Within the realm
of memories, pages are turned, time is rolled back,
the simple sharing of simple things, such a short time of childhood
friendship,
giving a lifetime of memories. Though the road between us is long, the
memories have not faded, the
childhood
friendship that connected our hearts has endured in my mind.

GARDEN BEAUTY
Watching
the earth produce its own glory, daises and roses gingerly lifting
their heads, a young girl’s dreams wafts on the breeze, there is more
in this garden beauty than meets the eye. Winds softly
blowing across her bright cheeks which glow like a tulip fine, graceful
like a flower that sways, the joy of an opening bud and blossoming rose
in this garden beauty.

GARDEN
OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS
Heironymus Bosch
c. 1450-1516 Bosch was the master of the monstrous,
the discoverer of the unconscious. His nightmarish images seem to
possess
an inexplicable surrealistic power. Bosch
produced
intense paintings of horrendous torture, carnal mutilations, the fires
of hell, and the sinister depths of the human imagination.

GORDITA HERMOSA
Botero began
to experiment with creating
volume in his paintings by expanding the figures and compressing the
space
around them, a quality which he continues to explore. All the figures
in all his paintings take on large
and
almost inflated forms.

A comforting guiding light.

HOMESICKNESS
Rene Magritte
1898-1967. Rather than paint the visible world, Magritte
created inverse worlds, carrying us with him through the looking glass
in search of bizarre hybrid forms, objects of absurd scale, and
distortions
of the laws of time and space. Magritte painted in the chasm between
our
vision
of the world and the world itself, between our attempts to rationalize
every phenomenon, and the absurdity that continues to pervade life
despite
all efforts to suppress it.

HORSE
SPIRIT
When the spirit of
the horse was created, The Maker set aside one horse
spirit to be different from all the other horses. He was given great
bravery,
strength, and a gentle loving heart. Although the noblest of
horses,
he was not the mount of kings or queens, but the mount of the common
people.

THE
INNER HARBOUR
The gentleness of
heaven is upon the harbour, it is a
beauteous day,
calm and free, breathless with adoration the broad sun rises to its
phoenix
in tranquility. A
grove
of tall masts is tracing circles in the sky as restless keels and
unmanned
rudders stain the blue water with rippling patterns.

KIDS PLAYING AT THE BEACH
Nothing
is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary

memories that bring us there, the sense
of vacation, the feeling of beach sand, watching the kids playing at
the beach.

LIFE IN TOTTENHAM TOWN
Main
Street was the centre of life, the drug store soda fountain was a
meeting place, a ride in a horse-drawn carriage was a way of courting;
bodices, petticoats, and dainty parasols were the fashion, church bells
would ring out on Sunday mornings. Such was life in Tottenham town.

their
harbour. Her children are safe, no more worries until the morrow.

MAIDEN BY THE SEA
She walks with beauty,
grace and ease,
Her aura is of
tranquility,
The soft sea breeze blows
her golden hair,
She is the Maiden by the
sea.
The sun is bright, the
surf is calm,
The wind murmurs tacitly,
With silent footsteps she
ambles on,
She is the Maiden by the
sea.
