from "The Parade" by Billy Collins
So I should not have to remind you
that little time is given here
to rest on a wayside bench,
to stop and bend to the wildflowers,
or to study a bird on a branch--

not when the young
keep shoving from behind,
not when the old are tugging us forward,
pulling on our arms with all their feeble strength.keep shoving from behind,

The second Tuesday comes early this month, and the deadline appeared before I was ready. But ready or not, here they are. Right from my yard and garden, growing unrestrained and unattended.

Well now I envy you your yard, too. I'm struggling to nurture like five flowers in my whole yard. It's raining right now though, thankfully. Beautiful images, Lester. I love the contrast of the yellow flowers with the white fuzzy flowers.
ReplyDeletePS. I love Billy Collins, and that is a beautiful piece.
ReplyDeleteLester, I am reminded that I wanted to introduce you to a photographer in Canada. Her name is Cherie Ranson-Peters. She has a lines cards called - www.itsawrap. She does beautiful flowers. Funny how cameras are such mechanical devices, yet photographer capture such different results. Your work i definitely has your unique touch, thanks for sharing your vision. Jane
