Local Warming

  (Skiers’ Lament)  

Spring hath sprung itself upon us;

Flung its blooming promises into dull brown niches of lukewarm city-dirt,
Whilst it puts off ambitious foliation plans just long enough to coax
 Shepherds pie snow into barely holding its grip against the daffodiligence of the sun.          

Self Portrait

A Lot of nerve

And aggressive swagger

Not stagger mind you,  just verve

Vivacious and audacious

Gentle arrogant edge

With outrageous mental sway

I am here to swerve.

Portage Papparazzi

Steve floated to a position aligned with the horizon and tried to block the view of Portage sunset.  Since there was no shortage of sundown opportunities we posed his Tilley hat tilt and nose angle to make the photo more identifiable.  Stereo Theriault is truly in his element at Portage.
