The fact you heard the posts calling says to me just how much you are in touch with your surroundings, and how you are in touch with your life as a whole. Enjoy Enjoy.
I found this SIMPLY little poem I thought you might like.
Simple Things
Daybreak, and here am I Starbound against the sky Have you ever watched a blossom fall Or heard a Robin call and wondered why? For awhile, think on the simple things How a smile can cause a heart to sing Daybreak is just a prayer For the many things the day can bring A heart full of simple things Nightbird, ride the wind Find your way to where the day begins Shadows waiting in the fading light Have whispered their goodnight and slipped away Hear me now, think on the simple things How a song can cause the world to sing Kneel now with me in prayer For many things the day can bring A heart full of simple things A heart full of simple things...
Such everyday things speak to us, everyday, don't you think, Kerri? We are so familiar with them as we ordinarily look at them that it gives us a thrill of delight to see them depicted anew, in light and shadow and color and perspectve.
I almost posted wood and screen today - perhaps I'll do it tomorrow.
And thank you for the compliment about presenting Little Rock in an inviting fashion.
My feeling is, after getting interested in taking pictures, just want to take pictures of all that seems attractive to me. Nice black and white pictures.
Ooohhhh! I love posts, too! Somewhere on my blog (October I think) I posted some beach photos and all the boardwalks and fenceposts. Yours is a beauty!!!
That's what I really like about photography. It makes one appreciate things they otherwise would not notice the beauty thereof. Good job on the fences, and thanks for the comment on my blog.
It is a pleasure to find joy in the little things and posts do have sturdy qualities that suggest safety. The black & white photo makes them look glamorous.
Wooden benches and posts just seem to go together - those are interesting, moody photographs. I think you'd love the areas around here ... prairies with lots and lots of fenceposts.
Look at it this way... you could say this country was tamed by the fence post. I don't know if that is a good thing or not, but they do play a significant role in our history. Two neat shots you got.
Remember my fascination with benches and leaves?
These posts seem to call out to me
great perspective, great mood.
ReplyDeleteGood black and white fences...
ReplyDeleteI think we like the same kind of pictures. You are doing great with your photography!

Daybreak, and here am I
Starbound against the sky
Have you ever watched a blossom fall

For awhile, think on the simple things
How a smile can cause a heart to sing
Daybreak is just a prayer
For the many things the day can bring
A heart full of simple things
Nightbird, ride the wind
Find your way to where the day begins
Shadows waiting in the fading light
Have whispered their goodnight and slipped away
Hear me now, think on the simple things
How a song can cause the world to sing
Kneel now with me in prayer
For many things the day can bring
A heart full of simple things
A heart full of simple things...
I hope you enjoyed it..

ReplyDeleteLove the photo, very nicely put
ReplyDeleteI like the top one best. Interesting use of depth of field in both of them. Maybe fence posts could be the start of a long-term series/project?
ReplyDeleteHi Kerri, I linked to your field posts photo in my own post today.

ReplyDeleteReally nice pictures. I like the thought of the poem as I was thinking that those pictures would be well wedded to one. Good stuff!
ReplyDeletethat is really good Kerri, love the angles.
ReplyDeleteWooden benches and posts just seem to go together - those are interesting, moody photographs. I think you'd love the areas around here ... prairies with lots and lots of fenceposts.
ReplyDeleteI like images in nature that have texture, color and line that draw the eye and the posts do the same for me here too!
ReplyDeleteI like them too! Great shots.
ReplyDeleteThis I Do...
I can see why you love posts. Wonderful eye for the "mundane" that is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLook at it this way... you could say this country was tamed by the fence post. I don't know if that is a good thing or not, but they do play a significant role in our history. Two neat shots you got.
