fallen pine needles
scattered at the door

scent of blossoms
on a light breeze,
the heavy scent of blossoms
at morning

all moving things
come to an end:

a winter rainfall
An old man’s love,
while trying to forget it,
a winter rainfall.

A spring-like winter day
In the aging house,
crookedness of the door being straightened,
a spring-like winter day.

weekly photo challenge: yellow
now I see her face
the old woman, abandoned,
the moon her only companion

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
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…

one in four challenge – week 2
week two…for this week’s ongoing challenge I went into Perfect Effects 4 and added a layer from a preset, “whiteness”, which I created some time ago, then added a layer from Perfect Effect’s True Film category, “green velvet”, and then found that by playing around with darkening the edges (highlighting, clarity, and shadows) seemed to add more depth of field.

fall flowers…all faded
blow if you will,
fall wind–the fall flowers
have all faded.

weekly photo challenge: gone, but but forgotten
over the fields of
last night’s snow–
plum fragrance.
