Two Bikes in the Night

Two bikes in the night. An open door, inviting light. Enter when the time is juuuuuuust right.

Perdido Bike

There's a street in New Orleans that only appears to mere mortals every once in a while. It's the oddest thing. It doesn't show up on maps. Apparently when you don't think of it, there it is. I parked my bike there once, which was a mistake.

Dawn’s Light

Have you ever noticed the shadow a bike casts? Look closely next time you see one. I think you'll agree they reveal the secret inner personality of the viewer.

Annunciation

"There's never a perfect time to say this," said the angel.

Today’s Angel

If not today, when?

Waiting Angel

Don't you dare ask for whom the angel waits.

Angel in Waiting

If you wait long enough, you'll get a visit by an angel. If you look hard enough, you'll find one. If you listen closely enough, you'll hear one humming.

Angel of Music

She's the angel of music, but just call her Polhymnia.

Baja Angel

She hovered over the cliffs in Baja, awaiting opportunities to redirect.

Caravaggio’s Bike

Caravaggio didn't have a bike, so now he gets one. Finally.

Daydream

"Am I imagining this?" he asked aloud.

Summer Bike

The heat of summer, the burn of sunshine on a bike seat, the smell of baked chain oil. Ahhh!

Sisters Bicycle

No need to lock it, just lean it against whatever’s handy and go on about your business. It’s always there when you return.

Red Light Bike

If downtown offers nothing else for bicycle enthusiasts at least it's got plenty of places to park your ride under a nice red light.

Fanta Bike

Effervescence on two wheels!

Spirit Alley

Let's pause the space/time continuum for a moment.

Bike under a Blue Moon

An open window lets the fresh air in.

Contessa

When you describe her personality, you may have to look up the word supercilious.

The No Name Bar

We basically grew up here

Brigitte

She captivates the imagination.

I Dream of Napoleon House

I dreamed of Napoleon House perhaps because I basically grew up there

For the two weeks she sat for the portrait Adele wasn’t allowed to see the painting in progress.

Guardian angels have a misconception about themselves.

She makes decent money, considering she only does Joni Mitchell covers.
