i brought home
three blossoms
not many left
almost sunset
all the leaves are gone
next year's leaves
are bundled up
and sunblushed
in the distance
no ice this afternoon
clouds in the puddle
beneath
a touch of palest chartreuse
just behind this
elder maple
who's endured much abuse from the road crew
Your photos of the last light on the trees are breathtaking.
ReplyDeletealice, i had to not post all of them!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful... I took my students to a state park today and made a TON of photos of the pond and then my commute home. Often when I don't have time for the studio, the camera is a good way to express and SEE.
ReplyDeletevalerie, lucky students, and this camera thing is terrific!
ReplyDeleteah--that last light. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteTime. Cycles of life, sometimes high and visible, sometimes low and hidden. Everything in the world is in a state of flux.
ReplyDeleteIt's spring for me, but how I love that sense of the world closing down, like it's taking a good long sleep and doesn't want to see what's out there any more.
The world restores itself.
ms, yes. it lingers sometimes, pulling me along with it, but always descending into needed night
ReplyDeletefaisal, you are absolutely right. now that i have a strong australia connection, i feel the strength of opposites, seasons, hemispheres, and the connection we all have to this amazing planet.
the colors and your rendering of them verges the sublime
ReplyDeletethe pond shots are a delight - ahhh but that poor maple!
ReplyDeleteneki, wow, thank you
ReplyDeleteronnie, that pond is about 4 inches deep! and th emaple, it is so strong, i hope.
