Details


Stone, a new leaf from the
Chestnut Trees, dirt work
Done on ones bare knees
Stones the color of rust, Color of weathered wood, Color of my Mother's pale Blue eyes but warmer
A cool pink like a sleeping Baby's cheek the leaf
A pale lime green
Stripes in stone, like veins
Pulsing at the throat

Susan, I thought you might like that pattern, the stone looked at from a distance if you're as myopic as I looks like an abstract painting. I love photographing what's under my feet.

I love old brick. I liked your poem. Hoping you are feeling well. I am feeling much better these days even with the rain outside.

Slainte, Linda

Utah,

I did NOT send you a first page of any novel; that was not me.

Also, your emails in the past have reached me OK.

Could you have me mixed up with someone else? My father was never a DJ. He was, till retirement, a town (city) planner and public servant. I did not write to you about PTSD either.....

Your last comment on my blog has really confused me; reading it just before my first coffee and cigarette of the day confused me more.

PS- I really hope you are feeling better soon. I can nearly always relate to someone when they talk or write about their difficulties and pain with bi-polar illness.

Thanks again, for your wonderful blog.

After two coffees, three cigarettes and my medication I can see you've probably just mixed me up with someone else; as simple as that.

Now, I MUST shower, change clothes etc and turn off the computer and get outside into my garden.

This was my second visit here, (you invited me for lunch last time). The creativity of the idea of photographing what's under your feet, then writing about it is inspiring. I find myself chained to this computer out of sheer powerlessness to go about the business of doing anything constructive, then find out I could have been doing simple things like taking pictures and writing about it.
This is truth, I'm not poking fun. So simple. One of those "Why didn't I think of something like that?" moments. Thanks for that.

I'll be putting ya on my sidebar, visiting too long your blog to ignore the obvious.

I love how you've captured each image and woven such closely together.
I love the 'Color of my Mother's pale Blue eyes but warmer'
Cold to warm. Warm to cold.
I really like this, you.
