Awesome Ken!
That's pure art!
It says what most of us feel, but can't put into words.

I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

I'm from the Adirondacks.  I love em.  I make about four trips a year back up to fish, hike and paint....Everyone here in the south that see my paintings always ask where I was when I painted "that.  Usually the "High Peak" region.  

I was up there for the 90 Miler canoe race in Sept. From Fourth Lake up through the Fulton chain to Tupper Lake...

I'm Headed back up in a few days for a photo shoot and some painting....maybe chase a few small mouth or pike while at it.

I'd rather wear out than rust out.

Work is the beginning, the middle and the end of success.

thanks again for the kind words. sometimes things just hit me and i need to get them out, other times there is nothing there at all. i wanted to sit down and write again after the poem i wrote but i was empty. it comes and it goes. although i could pound line after line out about waste, greed and destruction!

here is a picture of one of the places that is dear to my heart and a favorite place to roam. Royal Mountain, looking across a frozen lake. the spirits are alive up there and the winds talks true.

Great poem Ken.
I grew up in Florida, went to college in Colorado and stayed there for several years and then went back in the Army. They stationed me at Ft. Drum in upstate NY and I spent a lot of time traveling around the Adirondaks, my wife and I really fell in love with it, probably more than anywhere else we have lived. Your poem captures them beautifully.
We are back in central Florida now, but are really thinking of moving to upstate NY, your poem makes us want to go even more.
Thanks for writing it, think you could stand a "cracker" transplant for a neighbor?
