Heart lines

The Farm, Catawba, VA-Jan 27, 2012

Into the repetitive lines

this little heart beats

Lines~ etched into elegant stiffness;  

knowing they are one good thaw

away from waves upon the shore.

 

We Return

Blacksburg, Va - March 27, 2011

Lines of love surround your heart.

Surrounded by Grace

Backyard Garden, Blacksburg, VA- Jan 27, 2011

 

 

Undaunted

the leaf bent gently,

so I could see 

lines of grace

etched upon my heart.

a River of Stones - A 30 day challenge in observation

The day began with robins and sunshine and an epiphany. By mid-morning  a vague but heavy gray returned and the robins disappeared. I was able to carry on and complete all the errands on my list and several things not on the list. And in the last bit of light I saw this little willow leaf in the refreezing pond. With dusk all around and the first of the promised precipitation, I hung precariously (with camera in hand) over the top on our little pond. I am glad I did.

Delayed Arrival

Roanoke Airport, Roanoke VA- Dec. 6, 2009

Even though you were unable to get home last night,

Even though you are due any minute,

Even though I am wearing mittens and can hardly hold the camera,

Even though

-all that-

-Here we are-

Arranged perfectly.
