wordless wednesday
Horsetooth Reservoir… f/8 127s 24m 100 ISO
my heart fades…
While watching
the long rains falling on this world
my heart, too, fades
with the unseen color
of the spring flowers.

Let us…
Let us seek the past,
be an age
that cherishes the old–
then our “today” one day
will be someone’s “long ago”

lens-artist photo challenge: wonder
in hazy night
stepping into water…
losing my way

Water in its many manifestations: clouds, fog, snow, dew-drops, rain, ice, rivers, oceans, waves, mist, falls, glaciers, sprinklers..fill we with wonder.
Submitted in response to lens-artist photo challenge: wonder…a moment, a feeling, a place, a person–which filled you with wonder.

thursday’s special: lost in detail
Even if it were not so,
Something unseen,
Suddenly
Starts me awake-struck by
The sound of a bell

Submitted in response to Lost in Translation’s photo challenge
a path
Simply with sorrow
And nothing
More in mind
Both left and right
Sleeves are soaked.

a gift from Earth
Nikon D750 f/7.1 1/800 85mm 100 ISO
…Just as we are made of non-human elements and the flower is full of non-flower elements, the Earth is made of non-Earth elements. Like us, the Earth contains air, fire, and water, as well as the sun and particles from distant stars in faraway galaxies. In fact, we can se that the Earth is made exclusively of non-Earth elements. The whole cosmos has come together to produce the wonder that is this planet…
