"Come Again...?"
"Intent on Every Word"



"Problem Solver"
"Making a Point"



"Where's the Hoop?"



"Contemplative"





"How'd Do, Mr. President?"

FIFTY YEARS

Now fifty years have come and gone
Since we our caps and gowns put on,
To march and graduate anon, --
The Class of Fifty-Four!

LFHS is the school,
With education as the tool
That helped us learn a better rule,
Blest Class of Fifty-Four!

When first we started, Freshmen green,
Did we think we’d knowledge glean,
As classes, homework filled the scene –
Our class of Fifty-Four?

How soon we learned to scale the heights
Of learning, as we sought insights
To lead us on to swifter flights,
Great class of Fifty-Four!

Sophomores, and Juniors, too,
Then to our Senior year we flew;
We’d bid each other, soon, adieu,
One Class of Fifty-Four.

In music, sure we were upbeat,
Great melodies at times repeat,
With harmonies we all would treat,
This Class of Fifty-Four!

In sports we would not be outdone --
Competition, -- lots of fun!
Professional moves, and some homespun --
Wow! Class of Fifty-Four!

Oh! fifty years have now transpired
Since in those gowns we were attired, --
Accomplishments we’ve each acquired;
Some Class of Fifty-Four!

We come together to salute
Our class, as now we pay tribute,
Sure all our accolades compute! --
What a Class – our Fifty-Four!


-- Poet Les

Geraniums, with a Background of Hollyhock Seeds




Rhododendron...




The Colorful, the Brave!

Gerberer Daisies








The Shy and the Outgoing!

More of the "Surprised" Series


Sisters listen intently as they rejoice to be together again here in the Northern Climes, as heretofore in the Southern....

"Surprised" is here again...

And on the phone she is (speaking and listening, that is)!

The Sarge""


...contemplating characterizations of chromatic and cohesive cartloads of chivalry!

Beautiful dog...


...does the "heavy looking on." Somebody has to do it! Eh?

Meanwhile...


The cousins play.


And the fish swim!

Reflections wanted...


The hunters hunt, while we have hunches of hues and hear their "Ha's!" Then, -- high hopes for glimpses of houses of light with humble hosts and hefty heralds. -- NO HOLLOW HAMLETS HERE!

Rugged Coast of Maine


A sample of the beauty of the Maine coats. And one senses the awe engendered by such a sight!

A Visit and a Lighthouse

Surprise of the Decade!








Surprise! Surprise!
The eyebrows rise;
Wide-eyed wonder,
See her yonder.
It’s been so long,
No sight or song;
But now at last,
All that is past!
The Surpriser

A welcome’s here,
O sister dear;
Together we
Will joyous be!

The Trio

One day, three birthdays!

What a day (three years)!

Lighthouse views

The "light" and the house.
A spire of beauty and grace.

Longfellow

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and the Lighthouse.

Great poet.

Shipwreck here

What devastation must have occurred!

Reflections, Ho!

Sisters seek signs and suggestions of structures, splendiferous or symbolic!
Light in the Window.
