Vintage Light

Life like a Rose

Life like a rose

you grow and flourish

mature and bloom

put on a show

then fade

slowly

from the outside in
at all times
beautiful

Homage for Ansel

 

A belated birthday wish

to the original master

of the landscape.

Just back to Capistrano?

Curling Teams

 

Curling is a skill game,

with a social calling

that be may be the reason that

we are all a little crazy?

 

However we are Canucks

and we are very passionate

about our game!

5 times as many people

Curl than play hockey

see you at the Bonspeil!

 

 



Out of Season

In My Dream of Spring

I wonder if the sap

is stirring

If wintry birds are dreaming

of a mate

If frozen snow drops feel as yet

the sun

and crocus fires are kindling

one by one

~Christina G. Rossetti

Winter Blade

So cold

well below zero

so cold

Ice sharp that cuts

so cold

Freeze a brass monkeys nuts!

Winter Scene

Lens Flare

I Love to shoot into the sun,

you can get some very interesting effects

like these Lens Fare images

Woodland Reflections

Tempted by the blackberry

in a wild, and tangled rift,

treading lightly to avoid

the thorns reminder of a gift:

How timely is that visitor

who turns another page,

mellow and plaintive there

measuring my ticking age,

years concertina and in the round

sums up a life time with a sound;

what draws me here, beckons me to stay

as down into a pool I point away,

the suns arc, reflecting what I said

has made my world with neurons in my head,

my image, broken by a fallen cone.

I have a centre that ripples on

and all my seasons begin and end

and a ring around these trees my friend.
