wishing, in the afternoon
Posted by bluechameleon (Vancouver, Canada) on 31 December 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
"Sparkles like the diamond
That you've hidden in your room
I look into this night sky
And I wonder, where are you?
And winter's full of memories
That summer leaves behind
A new year's wish, an offering
To give another try"

This is such a lovely, dreamlike image...if just a little lonely. The weeping willows, although bare of leaves, retain their soft, flowing quality.

So soft and wonderful. Like a whisper in light sepia.

Beautiful image, Sharon! Love the dreamy atmosphere. But what grabs my attention is the benches. They are so fragile next to the massive trees. Feel like they almost about to disappear to escape the cold.
Happy New Year to you as well! Looking forward to many more wonderful images from you!

Yes, let's give it another try... That's what I say myself too for 2009... Thanks for sharing those words, Sharon, and I can see in your soft pic a real light ahead and a clear path between those two great trees opening up to let us go... It was a really happiness to meet you here. See you next year with pleasure*

A very moody image for the end of the year. Dark, softly blurred willows - very funereal. The death of 2008.

Like your rendition of the willows with their "hair” drooping down over the cold wintery scene - very moody and effective.
