shine with snow
It is the Fifth Month,
But still the Heaven-high hills
Shine with snow. ~ Li T’ai-Po

do you see what I see
lens-artists photo challenge: spots and dots
like little dots
little billows in a row…
little clouds ~Issa (cited: haikuguy.com)

a vacation spot…

lens-artists photo challenge: garden
Well…it’s just that…you know…really….it’s been a rough year…
a dandelion garden submitted for this week’s lens-artists’ photo challenge.
leaves
The grass does not refuse
To flourish in the spring wind;
The leaves are not angry
At falling through the autumn sky.
Who with whip or spur
Can urge the feet of Time?
The things of the world flourish and decay,
Each at its own hour. ~Li Po (cited: Trans: A Waley & B Li, The Poet Li Po. Project Gutenberg Ebook)
a song out there
A song out there… Why, it is a beggar singing! If this old man who never had a silver coin can sing, why must you with rich gold memories sit here and sigh?
~Tu Fu (cited: The Jade Flute: Chinese Poems in Prose, gutenberg.org)
lens-artist photo challenge: getting to know you
This week scillagrace invites us to share Getting To Know You photographs that show our relationship with a subject that generated our attention, won our affection and taught us a thing or two.
on a makeshift bridge
we make friends…

I enjoy photo walk abouts…it is as if a camera has a third eye that invites me to look/see. Over time, I’ve enjoyed expanding my efforts to include using double exposure, long exposure, window reflections in street photography.
Introducing body language as a way to introduce emotions within street photography.
Exploring window reflections as a means to compose a frame within a frame as well as create an abstract street image.
Accepting the challenge of in-camera double exposure.
And…may I invite you to spend a few minutes watching a mom and child, getting to know each other through laughter and validation. I know you will find yourself smiling.

mirrored
As the ink flows onto the page,
each word creating and tumbling into another,
she wonders aloud to no one in particular,
“are these sleeping memories
left in the shadows of grief …
a past writing on and on
this tale and that …
moving my pen across the page …
as if a bridge to yesterday?”
my face – my mother’s
lingering scent of sweet peas
mirrored reunion.
meandering tales
beyond a haze of tear drops
my mother’s face – mine.
faded looking glass
a cup or two of coffee,
“Let’s linger a bit.”
lens-artists photo challenge: geometry
“Yes, a line is fine, but when a line swerves, when a line bends, watch what happens . . . a shape begins!…
“A square is four sides all the same — … blocks to build with, share and stack…
“A rectangle is like a square with something rearranged. Two sides are long and two are short. …
“A circle’s … the bowl Mom fills with hot noddle soup, … a cookie to eat, … a big drum to beat, bicycle wheels …
“A triangle is three — three sides, three corners too … the pyramids of old, a lunch of jam and bread, a napkin to fold …
“An oval’s like a circle, except it’s not …” (cited: R G Greene, When a Line Bends . . . a Shape Begins)
Join Patti’s (P.A. Moed) Lens-Artists challenge — to share shapes that are visually interesting and form a pattern or rhythm.
