toddlers’ mom too tired
to cherish the moment
till years later

Standing in front of the lights
of the carousel,
I ask myself
Did I cherish
every moment to the fullest
when our child was little?

The camera captures an aerial view of a red brick-paved area where a puddle has formed after the rain. In the puddle, the colourful lights of a nearby children's carousel are reflected, though the carousel itself is not visible in the frame. The bright lights also illuminate the surrounding wet pavement, creating a slightly nostalgic atmosphere overall.

Taking my everyday worries
to the Christmas market
I think
it’s mesmerizing:
The magic
of a series of 5-watt LEDs
shining
against a November evening sky—
My 5-watt-tranquility

The image depicts two horizontally hanging strings of lights glowing against a dark blue evening sky. In the background, the black silhouettes of trees can be seen. The photo was taken at a forest Christmas market. It captures a tranquil, evening atmosphere suggestive of the forthcoming Advent season.

The photograph features a fly agaric mushroom captured from a low angle, providing a side view of its cap. The red top with white spots is visible, as well as the gills on the underside of the mushroom. Surrounding and in the foreground, autumn-coloured oak leaves can be seen, while the background displays the blurred foliage of still-green bushes.

Migratory Birds,
you journey away.
To warmer regions you fly,
while I return
to my central heating inside.

#poetry #imageandverse #poem #Photography #SCAPE #Landscape #coloraday #blueskyartshow #EastCoastKin #stunday #Bird
A flock of birds is flying in a V-formation across the sky. The image captures the birds from directly below against a heavily clouded sky, where the grey clouds are subtly outlined by a bright blue and white edges. The birds are making their journey to their winter quarters. This image symbolises both a farewell and the hope that they will soon return.

A wilting poppy blossom, weighed down and moistened by raindrops, bends deeply downwards. It extends into the image from the upper edge of the photo. In the lower right, one can discern a faded, now incomplete yellow blossom. Both flowers indicate the advancing autumn, which is also evident in the blurred autumnal colours surrounding them. Additionally, one can see the hole-ridden leaves of other flowers in the background. This section of a flower bed signifies that the time of blossoms has passed.

Picture: AI
The image depicts a mobile phone with a shattered display. The glass is covered in fine cracks, which stand out distinctly against the black background due to their white colouring. The pattern of the cracks resembles a spider's web.

Windscreen wiper sweeps away
November raindrops.
I can recognise my road once more—
I wish
I had one
for my soul,
so I could see my path …

“This is, however,
a romantic illusion!”,
the windscreen wiper smiled.

After the rain
Silvery enchantment
highlights the Lupine leaves
Drops mirror the sky,
whose October light knows more—
A green star
On its journey
To soon fade away

#photography #nature #scape #bloomscrolling #garden #stunday #poetry #imageandverse #poem #Landscape #coloraday #EastCoastKin
The photograph depicts a star-shaped leaf of the Blue Lupine, comprising seven individual leaves arranged in a star formation. The gentle October rain has left numerous droplets on the leaves, which stand out clearly against the dark green foliage, illuminated by the silvery reflected light of the sky. Surrounding the leaf are several buds that have yet to open, with their yellow petals waiting to bloom. Below and to the right of the star-shaped leaves, there is a solitary blue flower, which, like the other unopened buds, lies in the blurred area of the image.

An autumn alley of trees on the northern edge of Goslar. The view extends along the alley, which narrows as it recedes into the distance, culminating at the vanishing point. The path is strewn with brown autumn leaves. The trees on either side of the path are gradually turning yellow. The atmosphere is calm and peacefully autumnal.

Three deep red poppy blossoms, in the foreground and within the focus of the lens, stand out against a blurred background, composed of a bokeh of autumnal colours, predominantly black.

As long as the red is still there,
I am reassured.
So far, the poppy

Don't give up!
Tomorrow the rain will be over.

A red poppy, bent by raindrops, stretches almost horizontally across the image. It stands against a blurred background and foreground. Its surroundings consist of autumn-brown leaves from a walnut tree, grasses, and blossoms of other autumn flowers.

The photo of this lovely shop inspired me to write an “Ode to fudge”.

Please feel free to share your own versions in the comments!

Ode to Fudge

Oh, you tempting fudge,
you, who expands my waistline—
regret comes later.

The photograph depicts a charming little shop specialising in pasties and fudge. I captured this image in 2015 in a coastal town in Devon.

Whose sky is this,
in silver hush and nameless sway?
I am the sigh the mountain keeps,
the pulse, the air that stirs when silence sleeps..

No border knows my open claim,
no hand can grasp or gift my name.
I am the endless, unspoken flow,
the space where all beginnings go.
Then I’ll breathe where your words fade—

In silence
October trees
celebrate their festival—
The wind
holds its breath.

In the Arboretum Poort Bulten, the trees are quietly yet brilliantly celebrating. A tree in the foreground grows at an extreme angle. It is rooted in the bottom right of the image, with its crown reaching the left side. The tree stands in a park setting, surrounded by other trees at some distance. Below the leaning tree, there is a park bench. The trees are adorned with autumnal foliage, with brown, red, and yellow dominating the scene. Contrasting these colours, the green grass and a slightly blue sky complete the picture.

I saw this American-style #mailbox in the German city of Wetzlar.
A red letterbox, slightly weathered with age, reminiscent of its American counterpart with its semi-cylindrical shape, stands mounted on a metal pole in a front garden. On its front, just below the mail slot, it bears the word "Post".

Autumn Meadow
Your blend of summer's hues
And those of autumn.
Your colours are still warm
Still warm.

The photograph features two sharply focused blossoms of a delicate pink flower, standing amidst a blurred collection of flowers, some still in bloom and others wilting. These are the only elements in focus within the photo. Warm, brown tones dominate the bokeh of the blurred foreground and background.

Autumn leaf chose
to land on a bench—
solitary feast.

#nature #autumn #haiku #poem #poetry #photography #naturephotography #park #oakleaf #leaf #solitude #tranquility #transience #contemplation #reflection
The image depicts a park bench, photographed through the left wrought-iron structure, whose curved embellishments form the left armrest. Through this decoration, the view opens up to the wooden seat and the opposite right armrest, which has the same design as the one we are looking through. The wood, once painted black, shows clear signs of weathering. In many places, the paint has chipped off, revealing the grey wood beneath. A single oak leaf rests on the seat of the bench. It occupies the centre of the image and, with its warm, autumnal hue, creates a striking contrast against the black-grey bench. The solitary leaf draws the viewer's attention.
