Talking leaves
It starts as a whisper…
Urging me to go outside and discover the beauty of the day.
I think it’s the leaves talking, don’t you?
Sometimes the September sun is so bright
That you just can’t help posing in its gold;
Other times, the early morning mist
Creates a soft scarf of wisps,
And as you walk on,
You might discover a tiny universe of dew
Or the grand sight of a heron basking in the first rays of light
Before flying off into the distance –
Leaving you all the richer for having seen his graceful flight.

Your photography is simply mesmerizing and soul touching. I’m not just saying that either. It’s true.

Of course the turquoise boat caught my eye. It seems tropical in style, yet it’s in Sweden.

First image very much primal -it speaks in tongue and tongue and cheek. A great image, as it evokes much much more than one would think possible.

Gosh! These are all stunning! What a gorgeous area you live in. Wow!
