Truth from the past growing into the future, this image says so much about the historic event that took place in Bancroft, NE on August 2nd, 2015.
The first Sunday in August is John G. Neihardt Day in Nebraska, commemorating our Poet Laureate in Perpetuity. A ceremony is held every year at the John G. Neihardt State Historical Site in Bancroft. People gather on the grounds to picnic, enjoy music, peruse the museum and other features of this unique site. Neihardt's study is preserved on the grounds, his writing desk the subject of this photograph. The formal ceremony is staged in the Sacred Hoop Prayer Garden, observers clustering in the deepest shade of the trees.
This year marks the 50th Neihardt Day, and some special elements were included in the program. Living history interpreters Brad Kellogg and Raija Weiershauser performed John Neihardt and his wife Mona, exploring the remarkable story of their relationship. Actor/Photographer James Storm traveled from California to donate an original Neihardt manuscript that he was given in 1961. As Storm relayed the events that brought him here, he looked a little like John Neihardt, wild hair and intense eyes. The manuscript, When the Tree Flowered, didn't look like much, a sheaf of papers in a decades-old cardboard box, but Storm held it lovingly and presented it with respectful gravity. Coralie Hughes and Robin Neihardt, John Neihardt's Grandchildren, read aloud a description of heaven from The Cycle of the West. Many other descendants of John and Mona were in attendence. Myron Pourier, Great-Great Grandson of Nicholas Black Elk, spoke about the current movement to change the name of Harney Peak in South Dakota to Black Elk Peak, Operation Mountain Name Change. Pourier, a veteran and family man, talked about his experiences with racism and shared a positive vision of empowerment. His story of prayer and humble persistence brought the participants back from the past, bearing messages for the future. Far from being a dead poet, John Neihardt's work still inspires us to strive for understanding and work for what is right. As Pourier ended his words and prepared to step down, the Neihardt family intervened; they had something to give him. Black Elk gave John Neihardt, whom he called Flaming Rainbow, a number of gifts. All but one are housed in the Neihardt Center; the other was passed down among John Neihardt's family. This year the family decided that it should be gifted to Black Elk's family. A Bow, Arrows with Bone points and Arrows with Metal points, were presented to Myron Pourier. An Honor Song by Jerome Kills Small was a satisfying resolution to Pourier's suprise and the awe of the crowd, giving time for hugs and handshakes, to wipe a few tears, and just feel the moment together. According to tradition, the ceremony came to an end with a recording of John Neihardt, reciting Black Elk's Prayer.

Snakes intertwined
Visual art has eye catching and eye sticking qualities; a pile of future kindling supports this gathering of snakes. After the eyes are "caught" comes the eye sticking part, revealed by introducing math into the visual equation: how many snakes are in this image?

Bug Mania
At Camp the 17 year cicadas were everywhere, thick on the trees, creep-walking around the parking lot, clicking through the air like tiny mechanicals. They will land on you, fall on your head, cling to your shirt. Their needle-like feet poke through the fabric a bit as they traverse you. They are loud. Each one can burst out with sound like a gear being stripped. Collectively they fill the hills with a deep, corrugated buzzing.

Memorial Monterey Dream
I love Monterey. My first virtual visit was "Cannery Row" by John Steinbeck. The tree in this image is like many along the Monterey coast in California, rising up to the heavens, reaching, reaching, with high branches oriented like lightning, starting high on the tree before branching into the blue blue sky, puffy clouds and ocean waves upon the horizon.

Eyes on Iris
Purple blushing blooms of Iris in Nebraska, a softer force of springtime.
Raindrops on the petals reveals a recent rain shower.

Spring Tulip
Springtime in Nebraska is an unstoppable force.
This animated gif illustrates how spring just kind of pops. A warmer day, lots of sunshine, and Spring comes in, regardless of cold or unpredictable spring snow.

Is it a selfie?
" My dad and I had a brief argument over if this is a selfie or not. Well it is. Its your classic mirror selfie with a twist, that being it was taken in a window rather than a mirror,"- Z (In the shades).
And so it goes with conversation while walking on the 12th street Arts Corridor

Santa touching down on 1st Street in Seward Nebraska November 29th 2014 5:45pm
After the ugly sweater contest at the Seward Civic Center, I Wanted to skip town
and avoid the parade route. Still, having overheard where the parade staging area might be, I was curious so...We took to side streets. Somehow we found ourselves turning around in a residential driveway after encountering a sign indicating NO PARKING PARADE ROUTE. A right turn and two left turns, the floats were all there. Floats lined up on and around 1st, and Roberts. Upon finding ourselves in the middle of the parade action, I was almost unnerved. Then I changed my mind, the spontaneity of the moment taking over. Milt was out of the car and taking shots before I could think about any awkardness.This is one of the photographs he shot while we all took in the floats and the people and the start of the Seward November Parade.
