If I Were a Gardener

I seem to have lost my words again. It happens every now and then, in my blogging life. But pictures never fail me. They pull a certain peace into me. And I keep thinking…If I were a gardener.If I were a gardener, and she, my flower.I would plant her in the deepest, richest soil so...

Street Photography

 I spent the weekend inside a windeowless dance theater at my daughter’s dance competition. And they forbade us from taking photos, which is what usually saves me during these long weekends. By Sunday afternoon, I was about ready to jump out of my skin. So during a particularly long break, I took walk in downtown Knoxville.

The light coming through the iris’ is beautiful! I’m looking forward to iris blooming here. Have a great week.

Iza - April 16, 2012 - 5:04 pm

I love the first image the most- it has beautiful light and very moody feeling to it. I think you could try cropping it tighter, maybe square, without loosing the feel of the photograph.

Roxanne Reinhart - April 16, 2012 - 9:25 pm

Very pretty post!

The chair in the field is beautiful… I can image her or him sitting in it, watching the world or reading maybe. It has a very classic and romantic feel to it
