evening closes

lift your eyes
from the sliding shadows
on the path


and you are
the soft light


you paint
the pale clouds


as evening closes

How did the camera's sensor manage to keep that apricot light that is so hard to hold? Soft light of evening is the best, especially at the end of summer.

Love the bubbles header too.

ruth - i wish i was more knowledgeable in terms of camera technology but i'm not!!! i find the biggest challenge with taking pictures is staying still! i think the camera has some sort of anti-jiggle thingamabobby built in but i still can't help wondering if my heartbeat affects the image. i hold my breath for many of them! these pictures were taken very close to the beautiful community of youngstown, ny. steven

Steven! Beautifully whimsical header!

Magically beautiful photos.

Beautifully light-filled words.

I shudder to think what you might capture if you were "more knowledgeable" about cameras. Your pics are always so stunning.

WOOHOO! BEAUTY! Your bubbles are also totally amazing! little earths surrounded by clones and a soft surrounding. I want to be one of those bubbles! The last photo - I completely lost control over that one! Sigh, swoon, weep for the incredible colour of it. WOW!

I love how that tree looks like nature's window shade being drawn closed!
