This morning I will fetch water,
cut firewood,
and pick herbs
during a break
in this autumn shower.

Even in a person
most times indifferent
to things around him
they waken feelings–
the first winds of autumn

The rules to the Seven Day Photo Challenge challenge are, “…is one black and white photo from your own life each day for seven days. No people depicted, no words of explanation. Invite one other person to join each day.”
Since I’m uncomfortable with the process of inviting others to join, I will extend the invitation from Emilio to those who let me know they would like to join.
If I should live long,
Then perhaps the present days
May be dear to me,
Just as past time filled with grief
Comes quietly back in thought.
~Fujiwara no Kiyosuke

Standing outside the group of photographers who have joined Judy Dykstra-Brown’s Seven Day Photo Challenge., I humbly asked Emilio, “May I play?”
So with the joy of being welcomed and knowing how I also feel uncomfortable imposing upon others, I will extend the invitation to those who let me know they would like to join. The rules to this challenge is: “The challenge is one black and white photo from your own life each day for seven days. No people depicted, no words of explanation.

LDG Luciledegoday has sent out a request to help her find Badfish, her blogger friend who runs the Badfish & Chips Cafe. The last time he posted a blog was in April and she “dearly” misses his enticing and inspiring writings
In response to WordPress’s photo challenge, pedestrians, she has officially launched a Badfish search mission: “Where is Badfish?” So if you are out and about in search of a super image to post in response to WordPress’ challenge, will you look around and try to find Badfish, wherever you are, because he loves traveling all over the world.
I’m thinking that Badfish (left hand corner) was spotted last month at the Tour de Fat celebration in Colorado, USA.

glowing soap bubbles on a rainy Sunday
In pine wind
bellsounds shower down
with evening rain.
