Drama in the studio, lol

Poppies are flowering plants with delicate, papery petals in a variety of shapes and vibrant hues.

There are more than 70 distinct species in the poppy (papaver) genus, including opium poppies (Papaver somniferum), corn poppies (Papaver rhoeas) and Oriental poppies (Papaver orientale).

Poppies are an excellent addition to mixed beds, borders and cut arrangements.

Thank you, M, (*_*)

Misty scene at Savernake Forest, Wiltshire

Took another trip to Savernake Forest last weekend as fog/mist was forecast. I decided I'd try a different bit of the forest from where I've been snapping the veteran oak trees. There was a bit of mist around first thing but not as much as was forecast and it seemed to disappear by about 2 hours after sunrise. I had just packed away and was walking back to the car when the sun rose above the the tree canopy and suddenly there were light beams coming through catching a bit of mist that wasn't visible until then. Couldn't pass that up so out came the gear and I snapped away for a few mins. I quite liked this one and although I did take some bracketed shots just in case this is a single exposure.

Thanks for viewing and hope you all have a great day/weekend.

I am definitely one for the natural world rather than man made constructions, however there is only so long you can ignore a visit to the likes of Salford Queys. Yes, I would have preferred it before the transition when in my childhood it acted as the inland port for Manchester. Boats and warehouses would have offered much more interest to me. Todays bright lights provide employment, retail and housing and offer up a modern and distinctive skyline. The flat calm water in the old docks of course provide some fine reflections of the neon illuminated towers.

All Love Can Be - James Horner

.

.

…una mente brillante

.

...piove a dirotto e

in una via deserta si sente

d'un carro lo scricchiolio,

degli zoccoli lo scalpitio

in mezzo al triste mondo.

Abbandonato, un bambino

piange dietro una bara,

pallido il viso, occhi nel vuoto

chiede conforto alla nebbia

che stretto lo avvolge là…

dove la pupilla incerta

è in cerca d’una madre

del suo bacio, dell’ultimo abbraccio

ma oramai… tutto ha perso.

E’ solo coi suoi stracci addosso

lerci e inzuppati di pioggia

rimane la sua memoria

più santa e la più cara.

…sarai per sempre

il figlio di una donna muta.

Alza gli occhi al triste cielo

una figura intravede,…che

una silenziosa parola eleva,

sarai,….una mente brillante

e il suo ricordo lo conforta.

Gli dirà con placida fermezza;

con la gelosa e veggente tenerezza

avrò per lei sempre parole dolci

era un angelo, era la sua mamma.

………………………..…….. Luigi Mirto

.

.

…a beatiful mind

.

... it rains heavily and

you hear a deserted street

the creaking of a cart,

the trampling of the hooves

in the middle of the sad world.

Abandoned, a child

cries behind a coffin,

face pale, eyes blank

asks comfort from the fog

how tightly it wraps it there ...

where his pupil is uncertain

is looking for a mother

of her kiss, the last hug

but now ... everything has lost.

He is alone with his rags on

filthy and drenched in rain

his memory remains

holiest and most expensive.

…you will be forever

the son of a dumb woman.

He rolls his eyes to the sad sky

a figure glimpses,… that

a silent word elevates,

you will be, …a beatiful mind

and the memory of him comforts him.

He will tell him with placid firmness;

with jealous and visionary tenderness

I will always have sweet words for her

she was an angel, she was his mother.

………………………..…….. Luigi Mirto
