Languid Lagoon
Water surface shines a mirrored scene Enhancing hues and shadows even more than mid-day sun could ever shine, serene, As world slows down a bit upon this shore. Cumulus dust the wispy sky azure, Setting scene for languid summer eve, As crimson echoes beat… Continue Reading “Languid Lagoon”
White Heron Hopes
***************************** Milky plumage bright, Sadly reign o’er lush lagoon, Sunrise Point no more. ********** I took this photograph from the top of “Sunrise Point”, one sun-warmed morning at the Polynesian Village. I didn’t know then what this beautiful white heron may have sensed; that in the… Continue Reading “White Heron Hopes”
Weekly Photo Challenge: Letters
This series of photographs is posted in response to the prompt “letters“. Upon first glance, these two photos, are a welcome banner and a logo on a cap. For me, though, when I look at these photos, I am instantly transported to the mountains… Continue Reading “Weekly Photo Challenge: Letters”
Weekly Photo Challenge: Perspective

Photo Friday: Mirror
The sun announces the dawn of this new day, casting its reflection, mirror-like, across the still surface of the Seven Seas Lagoon.
Weekly Photo Challenge: An Unusual POV

Savanna: Survival
Oddest creature: She spreads her lanky legs, Falling clumsily to her knees to slurp up water-gulps. She survives. Tallest mammal: Sprinting across the savanna, Reaching tree-clumps; razor-sharp teeth gathering meals at dusk. She survives. Strangest denizen: Darkening spots, unique as fingerprints, revealing her true… Continue Reading “Savanna: Survival”
