These collected poems and pictures - by, for, and about Hummingbird Hill - are a vacation. Cedar and Cypress was written on vacation and about vacation, so it is meant to give you a vacation experience, to help transport you to that vacation time, place, and frame of mind. Hopefully you have a place where you like to go and connect with yourself, even if it is within. Vacations in my special place have been condensed into one sensory experience here in Cedar and Cypress. My poems are about nature or human nature. There is nothing serious going on in here, and that is how the best progress is made. Laugh yourself silly from morning coffee through midday and through sunset to stargazing before bed. Giggle along with me as we scamper up and down the steps from the cabin to the creek. Enjoy!
