I wrote this for a Dear, Dear friend of mine, Dr. Morris Wortman. He's been extremely supportive of my writing and introduced me to Brenda J. Washington (Photographer Extraordinaire) She is a fantastic photographer and a wonderful person. You can Visit Brenda:

to see more of her wonderful photography.

We teamed up together for our first project. I wrote the poem for Moe with Brenda's photo's in mind. Brenda and I  did some creative work with Rick at Scale 2: Display and Graphic Solutions

(visit:    http://www.scale2.com      and you can see all the other things he's done)                       

  Rick was instrumental with the design and outlay of the project. The finished size of the "poster" was about 20" X 30" .  He was so helpful and as you can see, the project came out Magnificent!! So here goes our first collaborative work.... 

For the "kid" in all of us..... Here's Through a Pilot's  Eyes (click on picture to enlarge)

Through A Pilot's Eyes

Days of possibilities

Fill up each morning sky

A question always asked

"I wonder just how high?"

Childhood dreams come flooding back

With each rising of the sun

Stretched out arms are my wings

I take off at a run

I soar over sidewalk cracks

My valleys, great, below

Jumping over rocks I see

Above mountain tops I go

Instead of arms outstretched back when

Today my wings are real

Yet when I fly my heart still beats

Like a kid again I feel

Over peaks and valleys

I really now do soar

Zooming through cloud figures

Like a child, I explore

Excitement fills my heart and soul

Of that there are no lies

Each day's a possibility

Through a Pilot's eyes

With Love and Appreciation

for a Dear Friend

and of course you know I had to add my 2 cents:

Best of Show

Lawrence is a person that looks and shoots


Stories in pictures in his cowboy boots


He captures a moment or an event


Forever in time for he's quite a gent


His talent is big as his smile is wide


He's always got a camera by his side


Off to roundups or rodeos


Always a picture wherever he goes


He's rounding up cattle or a horse or two


Working hard as cowboys do


Yet up in his saddle views catch his eye


He quick draws his camera and shoots, Oh my


A rodeo clown or a barrel racer


Careful he'll shoot, he's a photo chaser


A handsome cowboy dressed in his chaps


Shutters ready and off he snaps


With eyes of an artist and cowboy hands


His camera it follows his commands


With boots and spurs and his trusty horse


He'll capture your heart with a picture of course


Keep your dreams and hold onto them high


Cowboy, keep shooting in the blink of an eye


This is only the beginning of that I know


So Congratulations on your Best of Show


with Love and Light,


Nina P.
