Under the sun!

I will touch a hundred flowers

And not pick one.

 

I will look at cliffs and clouds

With quiet eyes,

Watch the wind bow down the grass,

And the grass rise.

 

And when lights begin to show

Up from the town,

I will mark which must be mine,

And then start down!

Some people can "see" and take beautiful photographs, and some can write wonderful words. Helen can do both! In fact she does both astoundingly well – and I often marvel at the apparent ease with which she does so and how powerful the combination can be. I look forward to seeing everything that Helen posts, and to her wonderful comments that make me think, make me smile and most of all make me glad that I’ve met her through Flickr. Thanks Helen
