lonesome by Matt Richardson

Cleveland national forrest, Ramona Ca. 5 am- This is my favorite of all the pictures I’ve taken. Sadly, I took it with a little, fixed lens, digital camera. When I came back a few weeks later with my D200, the San Diego wild fires had already burned the tree down. This photo is all that remains. Forever immortalizing this fantastic tree.

Red White and Blue by Nikki Collier

taken aboard the U.S.S. Middway in San Diego, Ca. / “Midway Magic” is a historical fact. It was a term known throughout the Navy as the USS Midway steamed through a 47-year career of service to country. Imagine a carrier that was commissioned in 1945 and served as a flagship in Desert Storm in 1991. No other carrier served as long as the USS Midway. /

Heading Home *_What a long strange trip its been_* by kjgordon

Packed up and heading home Arizona our summer home / / What a long strange trip its been / Favorite song on the road….without a doubt Truckin’ – got my chips cashed in / Keep Truckin – like the doodah man / Together – more or less in line / Just keep Truckin on Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street / Chicago, New York, Detroit it’s all on the same street / Your typical city involved in a typical daydream / Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings Dallas – got a soft machine / Houston – too close to New Orleans / New York – got the ways and means / but just won’t let you be Most of the cats you meet on the street speak of True Love / Most of the time they’re sittin and cryin at home / One of these days they know they gotta get goin / out of the door and down to the street all alone Truckin – like the doodah man / once told me you got to play your hand / sometime – the cards ain’t worth a dime / if you don’t lay em down Sometimes the light’s all shining on me / Other times I can barely see / Lately it occurs to me / What a long strange trip it’s been What in the world ever became of sweet Jane? / She lost her sparkle, you know she isn’t the same / Living on reds, vitamin C and cocaine / all a friend can say is “ain’t it a shame” Truckin’—up to Buffalo / Been thinkin – you got to mellow slow / Takes time – you pick a place to go / and just keep Truckin on Sitting and staring out of a hotel window / Got a tip they’re gonna kick the door in again / I’d like to get some sleep before I travel / but if you got a warrant I guess you’re gonna come in Busted – down on Bourbon Street / Set up – like a bowling pin / Knocked down – it gets to wearing thin / They just won’t let you be You’re sick of hanging around and you’d like to travel / Tired of travel, you want to settle down / I guess they can’t revoke your soul for trying / Get out of the door – light out and look all around Sometimes the light’s all shining on me / Other times I can barely see / Lately it occurs to me / what a long strange trip it’s been Truckin – I’m goin home / Whoa-oh baby, back where I belong / Back home – sit down and patch my bones / and get back Truckin on
Ahhhhhh Maui..... by kjgordon

Taken on the ferry from Oakland to San Francisco / / Even On the Mainland Maui Calls to me….take a listen…. / Maui, Hawaiian Suppa Man Told is the tale of the mischievous one / Who fished out all the islands and captured the sun / His deeds and tasks I will unmask, / so that you’ll understand / That before there was a Clark Kent, / there was a Hawaiian Suppa Man He fished out the Islands with a magic hook, / There would’ve been more but somebody looked. / In blue morning sky, the sun he entwined / To slow down his flight, so kapa could dry Hui: / Chorus: Mischievous, marvelous, magical Maui, / hero of this land / The one, the only, the ultimate Hawaiian Suppa Man / Oh Maui, Maui, Maui, Hawaiian Suppa Man / Oh Maui, Maui, Maui, Hawaiian Suppa Man The secret of fire was locked somewhere in time / So when the ahi* died in the hale kuke*, no way to re-ignite / ahi = fire *hale kuke = house cook (kitchen) / So off he goes in search of those who hold the information / So that fire could be used by all the future generations He found out the `Alae held the fire connection / *`Alae = Mudhen, a black wading bird / But his plan of deception fell short of perfection / With no other choice he had to get mean / So he squeezed `Alae’s throat until she screamed the secret.
