Wave goodbye to past summer
Sultry days and firefly nights

I am a scientist by trade and artist by soul. My creative outlet used to be dancing but due to injuries and age, I must now find another path. I am hoping my writing, poetry and photography can be this new path. Awards: While I am grateful and honored for the numerous nominations, I don’t have time to respond to them with the attention they deserve, so for the most part, I am an award free blog.

  1. Beautiful posting – I think your words captured the unique sensuality of September and your use of imagery is simply gorgeous. You pulled off the double! And I smiled too! Love, Harlon

  3. Sultry – I love that word. There’s something naughty about it – like a word you wouldn’t say in front of children…

  8. I enjoyed both the tanka and the clever use of varying focus in the video. The e-mail announcing the post displayed the 1st frame as if it was just a single photo (with the near blossom blurry), so I was puzzled about the intent until I visited the page and saw the fun with focus as the video progressed.

  9. Thank you Mellow. I am playing around with my Lytro camera. They are a little tricky and I have a steep learning curve. I figured out how to create it as a movie but the web link only allows the static photo that the viewer can tap to change the depth of field.

  10. Unfortunately, there is no hint that tapping will do anything beyond leave a smudge.
