A spring-like winter day

In the aging house,

crookedness of the door being straightened,

a spring-like winter day.

I envy the wild geese

Lines
in the twilight mist
where they go I cannot see…
I envy the wild geese
only their voices trailing behind

One Four Challenge – week 3

Well…what did I do…should have taken notes…hum…

In response to Apple’s recent decision to retire Aperture, I have been exploring Lightroom and Photoshop as alternative application options…so this week I jumped right into Photoshop and learned rather quickly that I need a tutorial for the various tutorials and that my learning style is most likely one built upon trial and error…but after learning about layers and playing with masking I did create an image that I eventually took into Silver Effects for a final touch up.

when i look at the moon…

When I look at the moon

I am overcome by the sadness

of a thousand, thousand things —

even though it is not Fall

for me alone.

…crumble in the north wind

brittle autumn leaves

that crumble in the

north wind…

fall flowers…all faded

blow if you will,

fall wind–the fall flowers

have all faded.

over the fields of

last night’s snow–

plum fragrance.

you talk…I’ll just listen…for a bit

glowing leaves

fallen to the ground

like those words of old–

glowing leaves

light remains…in the leaves

the sun goes down—

but evening light remains

in the leaves
