Night sky …. Summer moon
A cricket’s lullaby — for
Sleeping Gwen and friends
Dawn sky … drifting clouds
Robins and doves birdsong — for
Waking Gwen and friends

lens-artists: over the hill
Not for stilts
but as a cane
bamboo serves me now,
I who call to mind
the games of childhood ~Saigyo (BW, Poems of a Mountain Home)
Seventy-one!
How did
a dewdrop last? ~Kigen (YH, Japanese Death Poems)
How few our years of golden youth! How certain our gray years of age! ~Emperor Wu-ti
(The Jade Flute, Various; The Project Gutenberg Ebook)
Wind Kisses invites photographers to share images reflective of their relationship with over the hill.

As banked clouds
are swept apart
by the wind at dawn

winging over the mountain ~Saigyo*

weekly prompts: glimmer
Pale green night and flowers all melting into one
in the soft haze–
Everywhere the moon, glimmering in the Spring night.

The morning’s sun glimmered on the surface of Spring Creek. Please enjoy.

CBWC: Texture
Texture within photography invites an awareness of how sight invites me to touch as a means to validate the visual and tactile experiences: silky, bubbly, prickly, nubby, fluffy, grainy, gritty, etc.
Hop on over to Cee’s to join the CBWC challenge: texture.

lens-artists: motion
Though the waterfall
Ceased its flowing long ago,
And its sound is stilled,
Yet, in name it ever flows,
And in fame may yet be heard. ~ Fujiwara no Kinto
Patti invited bloggers to explore the movement of objects or people. Since it is a bit too hot this weekend to go on a photo walkabout, I wandered through some old files. I hope you enjoy.
