it’s kind of a door

26SEP25

he opens for you

big is the dude
he is in charge 
able to elude
& remain at large

will he be caught
probably no danger
but to our thoughts
he is a rearranger

on the open range
fought with clues
he will change
what you thought you knew

your mind will soar
hope will too
it's kind of a door
he opens for you

magic for certain
has a habit for that
for pulling the curtain
& the rabbit out of the hat

This is the second blog post that sets sail from the holler. It rained here most of the day yesterday. So I didn’t get the drone in the air. It was really pretty to watch all of the rain fall. It is supposed to be foggy this morning and then clear in the afternoon. The Woodbooger Festival starts this evening in Norton VA. I plan on attending tomorrow.

I think that there is a 48% chance of rain tomorrow. I am hoping that it does not rain very much. That might discourage people from showing up. But my bigger fear is that they may wear some type of rain gear that hides the bigfoot t-shirts that I want to photograph and put in the blog/you tube slide show. But I am not going to worry too much about it. Because after extensive study of bigfoot I know that it wouldn’t even faze him : )

Besides I will again refer you to one of my favorite quotes which talks about worrying about things that usually do not even happen.

My life has been full of terrible misfortunes most of which never happened.

I hope that you have a good Friday.

to get the hell

out of Dodge

chase the uncaught
if you so elect
& end up getting taught
to show some respect 

in your coat of Gore-Tex
& boots by Danner
learn that bigfoot expects
you to show some manners

big rocks he thows
your way they soar
uses them to show
your way to the door

 to expell
you from his lodge
 to get the hell
out of Dodge

know he threw them
to keep from revealin'
can refer to him
as Matt Dillon

reason he cloaks
so you can't see
this isn't Gunsmoke
on your TV

I am in the holler this morning. I am going to try to get the drone in the air this morning and test some new propellers. And I will also be checking to make sure that I have about 3 cameras ready to go for the Woodbooger Festival. I may try to make a short video of the goose and the donkey that have become fast friends in the field across from the house. If you haven’t seen them there is a picture of them at the beginning and the end of the “bush hogging up in the holler” video. You can find that video in the Drone Flyover Video section in the Drop Down Menu.

The leaves are just starting to turn a little bit. So my heavy rotation of drone flying and filming is still probably a couple of weeks away. In the upcoming weeks and months I will be redoing the Drop Down Menu. I will probably be adding a section that links all the bigfoot videos in the blog. I will also be adding a section that lists GoPro videos on the blog and you tube channel.

I hope you have super Thursday. Smile a lot!

you know a rainbow

it needs the mist

it is the storm
there you will learn
live in it's dorm
take your turn

you will get wetter
if you get caught
it is so much better
to be storm taught

we are all under
some type of construction
let the thunder
deliver your instruction

is what you like
the best for you
let the lightning strike
test if it is true 

your soul knows
it almost insists
you know a rainbow
it needs the mist

bigfoot in the tree line
cloaked in the unknown
he does not mind
getting soaked to the bone

I am loading the car this morning and heading to the holler. The next post should set sail from there. Enjoy your day. Try to smile quite a bit!

be the thunder

that knows no borders

sing your song
let it fly
& take you along
thru it's sky

bend the notes
be the bell that tolls
let the wind float
 well with your soul

bang your drum
make it sound
as they listen from
down on the ground

some things matter
like the truth
let it fall & splatter
on all roofs

be the thunder
that knows no border
you travel under
Heaven's orders

the love you put
through out your sound
will reach even bigfoot
out on his rounds

I will probably leave for Virginia in the morning. That will give me one or two days to settle in before the Woodbooger Festival. Some of my cameras are older. But for the you tube slide shows it really doesn’t matter. On almost any camera that I use I will be encouraged to resize the photos to a lower resolution to improve workflow and performance in the editing process and on you tube. Most people seem to be viewing the videos on mobile devices or tablets so there is not as much concern about detail as there used to be. I am tempted to just shoot the pics in a lower resolution to begin with. But just in case someone asks for a certain pic I plan to keep shooting in the higher resolutions. Learning to jump thru the tech hoops is good for me. And it is fun. It is more fun after you have done it. But a lot of life is probably like that.

I hope that you have a great day. Lead with a smile.

a lesson in grace

from our big friend

a lesson in grace
from our big friend
to keep our face
keep it in the wind

long is the class
the lesson is sweet
to not let any grass
grow under our feet

drink the lemonade 
that he pours 
& beneath the tree shade
your soul explore

there is so much more
than we've been told
sail to the distant shore
& see what it holds

This upcoming weekend will be the Woodbooger Festival in Norton VA. I will be packing and heading for the holler any day now. I plan to attend on Saturday and take some photos of people and bigfoot themed stuff at the festival and then put together a you tube slide show. I am working on some slide shows from the Red River Gorge Bigfoot Fest from back in May. I have the pics lined up. I may shoot a new intro pic while I’m in the holler in Appalachia. The scenery is so much more unique and compelling there.

I hope that you start what will be great week for you on this day!

Poems

it is not

Leave a Comment / Poems

21SEP25

all on your shoulders

a big rabbit
out in the trees
praying is a habit
on your knees

ask till it be
like the Jedi's force
and gain humility
connecting to the Source

shoot your shot
and do it bolder
it is not 
all on your shoulders

your reliance on His power
will constantly grow
this the one who towers
he already knows

I bounced back and forth between the 1st 2 lines in the poem and…

firmly grab it
the faith that frees

So if you like those lines better run with it. Meanwhile me and the rabbit will hop on down the trail in search of the top hat. And hopefully I will be able to avoid going into a rabbit hole. It seems like the world of bigfoot is full of them.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Poems

you’ll plow long rows

Leave a Comment / Poems

20SEP25

never reaching the end

don't do the math
you will never start
this is not the path
for the faint of heart

time to suffer
ignorance and ridicule
bigfoot will leave you tougher
than a plowing mule

learning will be slow
about your big friend
you'll plow long rows
never reaching the end

but you'll keep sasquatching
with your mind free
knowing that he is watching
from behind some trees

the pages you'll turn
bigfoot books stored on the shelf
what you will learn
will be more about yourself

now you'll be alert
to know the unseen
as you plow the dirt
of the rows in between

Enjoy your Saturday & your weekend. Smile – like a lot!

time to see

more than before

big is the key
to the door
time to see
more than before

it is long
a mighty stride
the siren's song
will not be denied

righteousness glistens
as the gavel falls
at night trees listen
to the travelers' calls

Daniel with the lions 
interpreting dreams 
more energy in the mind
than it seems

the mind has wings
with a mighty span
can do almost anything
it thinks it can

For those of you who are new to the blog you may want to check out the drop down menu. There are different topics listed with links to different videos.

Enjoy your Friday and weekend. Fill it with smiles.

around the tree

lightning striking
around the tree
we're all hiking
to what will be

don't have to guess
the price to pay
our time is less
every single day

be quick to see
and avoid the rot
time looks free
but it is not

we each get a set amount
before we fly away
so make your time count
every single day

find the groove
that moves your soul
learn to move 
like the bigfoot roll

Enjoy your Thursday!

Poems

he is the rabbit

in the top hat

bigfoot is subject matter
for the soul
he is the mad hatter
down the rabbit hole

can become a habit
he's good at that
he is the rabbit
in the top hat

he is the present
you'll not open soon
he is the crescent 
in the moon

you will study 
that cat almost daily
he is your buddy
with a top hat & a ukulele

there will be no tuxedo
or that type of costume
bigfoot will need no 
outfit to wow the room

I am in the middle of trying to put the photos from the Red River Gorge Bigfoot Fest 2025 into a you tube slide show. It will probably end up being 2 or 3 videos. A lot of the pics of the people wearing all of the different bigfoot shirts are kind of fun to look at. There are a lot of smiles. Bigfoot can usually be counted on for that. I would like to get that done before I take even more pics at the Woodbooger Festival in Norton.

Once I figure out a way to share the experience better on the blog I will probably start attending more of the bigfoot conferences and festivals across the country. We will embark on a journey together thru the world of bigfoot in pop culture. It sounds like a lot of fun. Time will tell : )

I hope you have great Tuesday!
