Even the safest bridge
Is no small feat
For little feet!

Too Sweet To Eat!
There is no nibble urge so great
As that
Which clasps
With “awwww”
So sweet
At very sight
Of newborn
Feet …

Ogunquit Duet
“Ogunquit Duet”
I took this photo in Ogunquit, Maine, during the summer of 2009, as hurricane “Danny” rolled in. Air and water mixed into a mist of gray, as the ocean roiled closer and closer to the buildings and the clouds kissed the waves.
The beach was deserted other than for some miserable looking seagulls who huddled as near the building as they could … and the brave soul who attempted a stroll against the edge of the storm … pushing forward with the umbrella not as rain shield but as barrier against the driving wind.
A moment after I took this photo, the tension broke as a gust whipped the umbrella up and over this person’s head, almost turning them into a kite. A dance ensued: The human tried to turn the umbrella sufficiently into the wind so they could close it; the wind buffeted each duck and weave maneuver with rain, wet sand, and foamy mist.
“Danny” won.

Transience
Like life suspended in the fleeting moment
between here
and gone …

Empty Focus
My nephew took this photo some years back during a summer hiking trip. I love it for its absolute focus and the mystery of the inhabitant that had created this fabulously textured, now deserted, sheltered place of transformation. A dried out speck in the blurry landscape and yet so wholly a world onto its own, now gone.

Triumphant
There is no joy as radiant nor victory as sweet as that of conquering the cherry tree!

A Moment in Time
A moment in time (Photo: Atara Katz)
In the pause
Between the breath in
And breath out
There’s a moment
In time
Of
Eternity
Slowed,
All movements
Frozen,
Thawed,
Life
Buoyed.

Find a moment to reflect
The good
The promising
The delightedly
Delightful:
The you
You knew
And
Perhaps
forgot.

Pancake Danger
This “Danger!” photo challenge made me laugh (okay, chuckle nervously, more like). Because to a child – or the adult remembering – the mismatch between what they know should happen and what seems not to, defies any sense or comprehension.
This was my reaction, as a young child, to the Balancing Rocks in Zimbabwe (at the time Rhodesia), to the southwest of Harare (at the time Salisbury). People strolled their leisurely horror … pointed and laughed and photographed their versions of pre-selfie memorabilia. My siblings climbed onto their certain crushing deaths, and no one seemed perturbed by the giants waiting to turn ant-humans (or their vehicles) into pancakes.
