After a period of 'reality photography,' I've been playing with golls again.

A nice relaxing change, especially as the weather wasn't too inviting.

 

There are more 'Golls' HERE if you are interested.

I borrowed 'Swanny' from Den, and have been waiting for some sunshine to have a play with shadows. This is one of the shots I ended up with.

This image was taken mid afternoon, and it was rather ordinary, so I enhanced it.

“Let Me Breathe”

by V.G. Grace

 

Let me breathe within a valley of kindness;

let me breathe amongst a people full of love.

 

Let me breathe where the air is sweet

like honey;

 

where pain’s forgotten history

and humanity is humanity’s beloved.

 

Let me breathe surrounded by an eternal garden,

planted

within untroubled soil;

 

let me breathe the perfume of tranquility,

instead of

old civilization’s old sweat and turmoil.

 

The promise of my exquisite hopes

are beckoning;

as wide and never-ending as the sea.

 

‘Till then, I breathe beneath my burdens;

not quite prisoner,

not quite free.

 

(Special thanks to V.G. Grace for the use of her moving poem “Let Me Breathe”)

Our beautiful fiddle leaf fig tree.

Fallen angel? I doubt it.

 

This will be the last Goll shot, for the time being. I've got it out of my system, and can now go back to everyday 'reality photography.'

There will be more though.

Busy weekend, didn't take a single shot yet.

 

Have been a bit creative this week though for two competitions.

 

The original shot, without the editing, was a possible for the ARAF competition 'Signs of Spring.' Didn't think it would do though.
