Reflection Pond

This spot is one of my favorite reflection ponds within West Fork in Oak Creek Canyon.  Sedona, Arizona has so many beautiful scenic spots and this one is especially healing and soothing.

A Flowering Bud - poem by Tam Ryan

During many of my visits to the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona, there have been many beautiful spring flowers and cactus flowers in bloom.  This is one of many favorite images that I have photographed.

Hollow roots

To form perfectly

Photographic Poetry

Trees are beautiful

Shape and all

Leaves that fall

© 1963 Tam Ryan

Off and on, since I was a youngster and through my adulthood, I have written a few poems over the years. The influence, I'm sure, came from my mother, who was a poet.  I will share some of my other poems in the future from time to time.
