park

a song for the rest of the year

/ mobius faith / 8 Comments

Looks like we will have snow for Christmas here in Ohio.   I honestly can’t remember the last time we had a white Christmas.   Well with everything going on this past year the holidays are somewhat melancholic.   One of my favorite “mood” singers is Julia Fordham.   Here is her song DECEMBER 24TH originally from a 1995 compilation album Winter Fire & Snow: Songs For The Holiday Season that featured various artists from around the world.

The lyrics will take you through the rest of this year into the new year.  Enjoy. 

“just goes to show ya, just goes to show ya, none of us have time to waste….you don’t always get back what you give”

… on… the macro verse….

I’ve long been fascinated with macro photography.  It’s so hard to do it right.  And I’m usually too lazy to carry a tripod around so I’ve never really bothered.   But lately, as my previous post shows.  I’ve started getting into the so-called groove of close-up and macro imaging.    I still don’t use a tripod – all handheld – so the number of useable images are limited.

This morning was a beautiful frosty December morning and I decided to go to a local park close to downtown and only about 5 minutes from my apartment.   Here are two of the images I was able to use from this morning along with two new haiku.  Hope you enjoy them.

Les Bébés Congelés

Frosty mornings
Inhale a crispy frozen breath
I gasp, in love

Whiplash wind storm
When I am lost you bend me back
See what’s behind

Whiplash Bend
