weekly photo challenge: symbol
baseball…a slow game symbolizing long summer days is defined by journalist Roger Angell as an ageless sport in which “time is seamless and invisible, a bubble within each player moves at exactly the same pace and rhythm as their predecessors.”*

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

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.

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.
Visit Captivate Me to join in the fun
when i look at the moon…
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…
