Photo by Roger Carlton

Located on Lake Santeetlah facing south across the the lake using my Apple I-Phone 7. The time was around  6:30 am and the shot lasted for less than 10 minutes. The early bird catches the best image.

 

Roger Carlton is columnist for Graham Star newspaper. He was once a writing student of mine. He has developed a great eye for photography. I believe this view is from his lovely home on Lake Santeetlah in western North Carolina.

Roger says the Graham Star is using some of his photos on the front page of the newspaper. Who says life can't get better after retirement? Roger has found a new calling with writing and photography. He spent his working years in city management. We are happy to have him as part of Writers' Circle around the Table.

Woman in the Mirror

In July 2011 one of my poems, Woman in the Mirror, was merged with lovely paintings to make a post that will always be special to me. 

I had lost the link to Avagabond's blog, but she was kind enough to find the post and send it to me. I never met her, but this woman is one of the most interesting people I have read about online.

She writes about her life, her travels, France and she shares great photography. I feel like I'm there with her. I think some of my present readers came into my life through this site and this post.

Click on this link to see her post using my poem. You might have to copy the link and paste it into the search line.
