Never the trees on the banks were more beautiful than they are now, only the bouquets of branches emerging. Above them a Nicolas Poussin sky.
The flooded plain is itself another sky, expanded domain of wild swans and fishermen installed along the dykes. Both are capable of ignoring, torn from the banks, the jetsam washed up against the fences, caught on the stakes.
The magnitude of a valley allow us to banish from our gaze the tide of rubbish from a world in disarray. There remain the main outlines, the overall framework and all those reflections indicating a patching up of the pools at the bottom of the expanded river.
You could imagine, if the climate were more agreeable, in all urbanity, a crowd of bathers having fun swimming in the lake so temporary.
Temporary sprawl, oscillating between gray and sepia. Appearing motionless, only a slight seething indicates forward motion.
The night improvises another story : the earth and the water being offered incense by the moon and the shadows.

I'm already thinking about springtime trail work to the extent of going out tomorrow to open up an oldy but a goody.
Coincidently, its Nov 25th today. Happy birthday Chainsaw...
Another (different) angle/crop of this flower shot. I still think I like the horizontal composition better, but this is ok too. (Thoughts?)
Would it surprise anyone to know it's also on black...?
Soli Deo Gloria!
My final photo in the mini series of photos I have been posting. A brilliant rhododendron bush blooming down the street from my apartment. For a first time practicing flower photography, I definitely enjoyed it and plan on trying more.
It’s Iris Time: My backyard garden has now added these gorgeous, velvety, frilly purple Irises. They are opening a few at a time. I’ll be adding more to this album as they continue to open and flourish until the whole Iris patch has opened❣️Photo images credited to Vickie L Klinkhammer of Vickielynne Photography and Designs (VLP&Designs)
Huge thanks to Hank for inspiring me to grab my Olympus Zuiko Digital 8mm fisheye for some tulip images. Though it's nowhere as cool as his shot that provided this springtime inspiration, I still think this curving world of tulips is a pretty amazing place to be. Tulip Town, Mount Vernon, WA.

A brief stop to admire the aubretia cascading over a garden wall on the climb to Chadderton Heights. it was a lovely sunny afternoon for a bike ride.
My backyard was full of surprise this past April! Even with all the strange weather we had these hardy daffodils just kept blooming! I love springtime flowers.

Crab apple blossoms seen while Deb, Rocket, and I walked to the neighborhood park this morning...
A storm blew through leaving a trail of devastation across the state of Iowa. We were fortunate with only rain and high winds. My Irises took a beating, lost some, trampled down a few that I cut and brought inside, closed up a few but opened a few more! I find beauty in all the stages that a flower takes from bud, to flower, back to bud, to dying. Behold life and death in a cycle thru Mother Nature💜
I took this on my way to the town of Tecumseh, Michigan on March 26, 2008. Recent rains had created ponds where they normally don't exist, along the highway near Manchester.
I had to turn around and go back to get this, because it was too good to pass up.
