Road Trip 2026, Day Seventeen

a beautiful drive

where we even saw a moose

brings us to Seward

cabin in the woods

will be our home for four nights

peaceful, idyllic

Road Trip 2026, Day Sixteen

paddle-boarding salt

first time the three of us

(includes SUP)

shopping in the sun

on this quirky “spit” boardwalk

summer in Homer

time is running out

before i am alone here

soaking up smiles

Road Trip 2026, Day Nine

an Al-Can drive day

with glacial lakes and mountains,

ever-curving road

Mt. St. Elias

makes her stunning appearance

along the Al-Can

we follow rivers

all the way to Kluane

where a new lake shines

Silver Anniversary Trip, Day Eleven

enchanted lava 
creates unique swimming pools
otherworldly
infinity pools
so twenty-first century
simply don’t compare

Small Moments Make a Day

a touch of snowfall
brings beauty to commuting
and calms my heartache
my name in Dari
made for me by my student
language: such a gift

Ski Reverie

ski day reverie
filled with powder grins,
soft turns, silent flakes
always a long day
yet happiness takes its time
falling from the sky
