Mellow Yellow Monday

Here in Washington on the 4th of July the Blue Angels perform over Lake Washington. I’ve not been to the actual performance but have had the pleasure of seeing them practice their routine when they fly overhead. This photo is one of many you can find on the internet. Happy 4th to all who celebrate and for those of you who don’t have a Wonderful Day!

 

Portrait of Grandchildren

I have finally managed to capture a photo of the portrait I finished of my youngest daughter’s children to show you here. I am not very savvy about taking photos or how to enter them onto the computer so thank heaven for email. The proportions are off and there is the light from the flash on the first one but hope you get the idea. My daughter took the photo after the portrait was framed. I do undertake art apart from my site.

Whispering Softly

the wind whispers through                   "Whispering Softly"
branches of trees
innuendoes of endless seas

whispering softly
murmuring low
secrets unknown

perhaps there resides implicit
knowledge of us there
bewildered if we really care

whispering softly
murmuring low
secrets unknown                                              “Whispering Softly”

pantomine gestures leafy boughs
quietly holding birds at rest
hatchlings held within a nest

whispering soflty
murmuring low
secrets unknown

the wind whispers through
branches of trees
listening forever endlessly
