Lengthening days
accumulate – farther off
the days of long ago!

black & white sunday: summertime
On the shins of thin legs
breezes touching the hairs —
time of summer clothes.

monochrome madness
Pianos About Town is a community collaborative effort that brings art and spontaneous music to a community. Donated pianos are transformed into whimsical painted pieces of art which are then placed in various outdoor locations about town…this form of interactive public art invites the creation of music as well as opportunities for photographers.

You are invited to visit Leanne’s Monochrome Madness gallery.
I hear your voice…
In my memories
you are there…
I hear your gentle whisper…
In my memories
as though you are waiting…
whispering, beckoning
deep within, I hear your voice.
wordless wednesday
hangin’ out
chess
playing their games
on the sly…
pale blue butterflies

at the public library…chess

wordless wednesday
Now, at this
Though I gaze upon the setting sun,
Fond within my thoughts
In the land of Amida, alone,
Is the evening sky.

time of summer clothes,
and someone up the pathway through the field,

oak street plaza
Oak Street Plaza Park is a hardscape, cobblestone area with cafe tables and chairs where people are invited to enjoy a break from shopping and chat with their friends.
In the summer, children (as well as a dog or two) are fascinated with the water as it jumps from the sculpted “rocks’ or sprits in the air from the cobblestone.

thursday’s special: street photography/portraits
Relationships nourish the soul… often while I am out and about my imagination drifts away from the present as I begin to silently story the lives of others. These two street images offer multiple stories about the dynamics of human interaction…with self, with others, with technology.
A dad with his son…playing ball? Yet, while he is silently watching his son pick up the ball, there something about his stance that has me wonder if his mind is elsewhere.
A solitary figure…waiting to meet someone while texting another or texting the one he is waiting for?
Ponderings and images in response to Lost in Translation’s Thursday special.
weekly photo challenge: vivid
such quantities of wind
on the floor of a spacious room
summer room–
and still not quite enough
