september (II)
Posted by bluechameleon (Vancouver, Canada) on 1 September 2009 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.
The sun shines high above
The sounds of laughter
The birds swoop down upon
The crosses of old grey churches
We say that we're in love
While secretly wishing for rain
Sipping coke and playing games
September's here again
September's here again

"I plan to crawl outside these walls / Close my eyes and see / And fall into the heart and arms / Of those who wait for me / I cannot move a mountain now / I can no longer run / I cannot be who I was then / In a way, I never was / I watch the clouds go sailing / I watch the clock and sun / Oh, I watch myself, depending on / September when it comes" Roseanne Cash)
Looking at this beauty of yours & listening to this great song made my day. What an amazing composition & brilliant picture, Sharon! Seems like I've been waiting for that a long long time. It's great & I love it. All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

I like this month too, I don't really know why. Maybe it's because it resembles a new beginning, like a new school year lol. As for the image, i love your composition here, the lighting on the wood, and of course, the leaf! =]

Sharon, you have a way with the lens that brings home the value of imagery: communication. But not mere messages, I'd say poetry that leads to meditation.
By the way, thanks for taking the time to visit my blog. I was truly honored by that. Take care.
