Elusive little bird,Why must you taunt me so.Not very colorful are you,Nor of a rare or unique variety.But your cute little antics,Are difficult to ignore;And the challenge you provide,Makes you all the more intriguing. I am relatively new to photography and have had the pleasure of spending several weeks in a subtropical environment photographing shoreContinue reading “Elusive Bird”

A Little Innocence
Hope is that curiosity leads to adventure;That discovery results in wonderment;That joy is found in the little things;That love is all encompassing;That the exigencies of life promote strength;That, through it all, a little innocence remains. Written in response to “W3 Prompt #48: Wea’ve Written Weekly,” hosted by poet of the week, Kerfe Roig. “Begin yourContinue reading “A Little Innocence”
Common Violet
How can you be called a weed?Beautiful and fragrant are you;A wildflower to be true.I have waited all season to touch your soft petals;Caress your lovely stem;I flutter around your leaves;Admire their prominent veins;Finally, I alight on a violet petal;And drink from your nectary. Written in response to dVerse poetry prompt hosted by SarahSouthwest –Continue reading “Common Violet”

Treasured Hanky
You are meant to wipe away the tears;Stifle the runny nose;Yet, just thinking of you results in violent sobs.When I hold you in my hands;Your cottony softness reminds me of all that I hold dear;Your delicate embroidery threatening to unravel;Represents all that I have lost.I have treated you unkindly;Tossing you aside in favor of aContinue reading “Treasured Hanky”
Mysterious Trees
What mystery lies beneath the palm frond;and, in the gnarly branches of the tree?I look upon them with expectation;as surely a secret will reveal itself.For the emotion stirred by a simple glimpse,must have deep significance.Can I capture it in a photograph?It appears not.I must just accept the mystery for what it is;relishing my connection withContinue reading “Mysterious Trees”
When Nature Calls
When nature calls;Greet it with a whole heart;Feel its presence;Immerse yourself in its beauty;Understand its power;And remember your essence.
Strange
You think I’m strange?Look at you; Obsessing each day;About all that you do.My life’s simple;I go with the flow;My instincts tell me,All I need to know.Give it a try;Just soak up some sun,Wait, what’s all that?Chair, towel and lotion!A cooler of food;Drinks and snacks;A speaker and phone;That’s how you relax?Okay, you do you;We’ll bask byContinue reading “Strange”
Sunrays
Sunrays halo you;But all you see are the clouds;Let the light prevail.
Head In The Clouds
When my head is in the clouds,I lose sight of what stands before me.I forget where I am;I’m not sure of what I’ve done;Is that bad? Maybe…But, sometimes when the clouds clear;And I return to my present circumstances;There is a sense of purpose;An illumination;A clarity that can only be achieved,By having my head in theContinue reading “Head In The Clouds”
