General Discussion

Gone to Seed almost got my vote, because the composition is brilliant.Likewise Zen reflections. Repose evoked a love of the human form. And the two with the kids? Well, I'm a grandpa. Enough said...

But...

Waiting for the Leaves

That picture is so engaging, and so beautiful to me because I dearly love trees. There are so many noble and wonderful ones in my neighborhood, and with some I can feel the vibration of the life force and almost hear their voices. All life has a language, I think, if you still yourself and listen.

With Waiting for the Leaves, I could sense the awakening, the quiet creaking of growth, feel the sap running and the buds emerging, and it seemed to me that as I contemplated the photo, I could feel the celebration of rebirth - the ancient cycle of decline, death, birth and life - Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer.

This is just an outstanding photo! It really is!
