Spring Creek Trail…a wondrous spring day…
Thank you Cheri, Michelle, Krista, Josh, and the WordPress.com Team
How can I blame the cherry blossoms
for rejecting this floating world
and drifting away as the wind calls them?

the past…the present in Loveland, Co
crumbling

Come out to view
the truth of flowers blooming
in poverty.

For this photo assignment I have included two versions of the motion blur image taken during this past weekend’s St. Patrick’s celebration in Old Town. I generally prefer street and motion blur in black and white…yet, the color image with the green and purple does give the image a bit of pop.

It’s a cloudy day…a bit of sun entered through the south window
a bit of light
foot prints in the snow
may I find the equanimity
that will ease the darkness
of envious resentment
so that the rays of enlightenment will
fill my world with the loving-kindness of bliss
sunbeams
a meditative journey
