This week Jenn (Traveling at Wits End) invites photographers to “…make the colors the story of the photo” during this time of the year when the world is more gray than green.
weekly photo challenge: bright colors
photo challenges
composition: leading lines
Image submitted for Dogwood Photography’s annual 52-week photography challenge.
Week 8: Composition: leading lines (It is easy to use Leading Lines to show depth in an image or guide the eye to a specific spot in the image. Instead, this week use leading lines to show the concept of infinity.)
lens-artist photo challenge: nature
spring breeze–
the pine on the ridge
whispers it ~Issa (www.haikuguy.com)
“[Frank Meadow] Sutclifffe rarely left Whitby, where his portrait studio kept him busy, and said that we was ‘tethered for the greater part of each year by a chain, at the most only a mile or two long.’ To most modern photographers this would seem a crippling restriction, but Shutcliffe gradually realized that is was an asset to him as a photographer since it forced him to concentrate on the transitory effects that would transform familiar scenes.” (cited: Frank Meadow Sutcliffe, the Aperture History of Photography Series: Aperture 1979
While I dreamed of traveling during those long-hours filled with work and family responsibilities, I find that Frank Shutcliffe’s creative work serves to move me toward greater acceptance of being “tethered” during this retirement period with the challenge to open myself to the “transitory effects” of nature that transforms the landscape close to home.

this world is only a dream
When, with an awakened heart,
I realize
this world is only a dream,
a child’s smile revives joy.
This world is only a dream…submitted in response to Debbie’s (Travel with Intent) six-word musing challenge.
story telling warmth
all cozy and bundled up for a chilly morning walk….
or maybe, instead, a cup of tea or two…

Even into the mind always clouded with grief,
There is cast the reflection of the bright moon ~The Sarashina Diary (Diaries of Court Ladies of Old Japan)
