lens-artists challenge: illustrate a favorite quote or poem

i like to wash,

the dust of this world

in the droplet of dew ~Basho

droplets forming

on the morning-glories

sitting still ~ Issa

Issa and Basho’s words traveling though time, sharing a moment of their lives…two of my favorite poets I share with you through Ann-Christine’s lens-artists challenge. Enjoy.

lens-artists: motion

Though the waterfall
Ceased its flowing long ago,
And its sound is stilled,
Yet, in name it ever flows,
And in fame may yet be heard.
~ Fujiwara no Kinto

Patti invited bloggers to explore the movement of objects or people. Since it is a bit too hot this weekend to go on a photo walkabout, I wandered through some old files. I hope you enjoy.

weekly photo challenge: cover art

dew-laden,

it falls without wind–

a single leaf.

Even water could not live on– 
So lonesome is the mountain 
Of the leaf-scattering stormy wind.
