I took this photo October of 2006 in the window of the camp that I call home, while working on the North Slope in Alaska. I took the photo hoping to catch the orange glow in the frost from the setting sun, which during this time of year is not visible for very long. It was not until I downloaded the photos onto my laptop, that I discovered the images of two hummingbirds in the frost. The images appeared on the inside pane of a double pane window. Very strange indeed. I would love to receive some comments on this one.

"Taps"
Song of Farewell(Taps)
The sound carries gently to distant hills,
for some it means tears,
for others, perhaps chills.
The music that is played is a haunting sound,
another veteran lost, another to the ground.
Some lost in battle, from an enemy’s rage,
some raise their families, and pass from old age.
Those to be escorted by this haunting sound,
are those who stood firmly, for this country’s ground.
It matters not if we are black, red, or white,
rich or poor, we have all earned the right.
Loved ones say goodbye, to our body, our shell,
but we stand next to you, as you play Taps,
our last song of farewell.
