Happy New Year to all!
Thank you so very much for your boundless support for my photography.
Here's to NEW BEGINNINGS. May it be so, for each of us!

EARLY MORNING MEMORIES
Wishing it possible to fly into these early morning memories.
Instead, I perch on this branch of life and lovingly remember...
— Diane Varner
THRIVE
wishes blow away
some stay
to cling to the vessel
and wrestle
to not release
or cease
but to remain alive
and thrive
— Diane Varner
SLOW MOTION
joyfully
in slow motion
with time
we surrender
— Diane Varner
FLUID CHANNELS
Cradled by some and tangled by others, we carefully maneuver through the fluid channels of life — all the while, collectively sliding into the pool of sacred water.
— Diane Varner
GRATITUDE
Gratitude lifts the spirit and elevates the soul.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American Friends!
With gratitude for all.
— Diane
COMPLETELY NOURISHED
Surrounded by all that could sustain her, she knew it was not enough — for only when she could run free, would she be completely nourished.

This little critter (aka gopher) was caught one day when it had the courage to run across the yard. Just a baby, it most likely didn't know better and was lulled upward by the warm sunshine and blue skies. Upon catching her, I put her in a bucket of veggies and took her for a ride to a larger field where she could run free. Just before releasing her, she looked up at me with her sweet, knowing gaze — it was one of those looks that I shall recall whenever our lawn starts erupting dirt mounds. I now can't help but love these little beasts!

EVOLVE
Hidden among years of belongings was the rediscovered ability to evolve.

SUDDENLY BRISK
one dark night
with shafts of moonlight
all was suddenly brisk
— Diane Varner
WANDERING WINGS
Nearly hushed was the twilight
save the flapping of your wandering wings.
