I See…

 I see how you glow. You seek out sunshine and swallow it for breakfast; you soak up its rays and study its delivery system.  You eat and drink and sleep and breathe beams until they pour out of you like waterfalls of liquid energy. Yours is an adept methodology, a course bent on assimilating its manual…I see.  If…

 I see how you glow.

You seek out sunshine and swallow

it for breakfast; you soak up its rays and study its

delivery system.  You eat and drink and sleep and breathe

beams until they pour out of you like waterfalls of liquid energy.

Yours is an adept methodology, a course bent on assimilating

its manual…I see.  If I am to be sunshine – not just sense and

mimic, but become, cells must ingest heat, heart must

pump solar flares, core must collaborate with

sunspots.  I must satisfy this hunger

for radiance by feasting

on Light…

    You have an extra-special talent for yellow flowers I think!! What is your camera??

      Just a little Nikon CoolPix point-and-shoot that has a lot of limitations. It has always been ‘good enough’ for what I used to do – but my daughter has such an eye – she has taught me a lot about composition and challenged the way I see a shot’s potential, and I have learned a lot from the photographers I am following as well. My next purchase will be far more discerning.. Btw, yellow is my favourite colour – I have a lot of yellow planted! 🙂

        I asked because I am looking at getting a DSLR, current one is an old Canon powershot. But your flower pix are very good for a P&S.

        Laughing that yellow is your fave colour – it must come out automatically in your photos!!

      2. melodylowes

        I didn’t realize until I started my editing folder how many yellows I had! Our personalities and interests come out whether we try or not, I guess! Let me know what you get and whether you like it – I’d be interested to know your thoughts as a future reference.

        Looking at Canons. 550 which is virtually out of date, or a 600 if I can’t get a cheap 550. Nothing flash. But if you are a Nikon person I am advised the 3100 or 3200 is the way to go?

        I’m actually not too hooked on Nikon – I would go Canon next round myself. For the money they have more features and better quality apparently. My daughter is looking at one of the Canons and has been frantically saving up her money I can’t remember which one she has in mind.

        7D is another good one but a bit more up market, however not plastic.

        It’s a contender too. I’ve got a pal who worked with cameras for years who is my advisor, so I have to say I am taking her advice, and she’s a Canon person, and so is my partner. My old SLR was Pentax but I’m not even looking at those. Lost the market I reckon.

        Lots of Canon folk in the world of photography, so it looks like the way to go. Have fun shopping! 🙂

    I go through the yellows of daffodil seaons (the yellow being such a heart enriching beam of sunlight after a long winter)…but then my garden shocks me into the virant reds of the tulips the heat of summer. . This photo is so lovely … bringing the spring sunshine into summer.

      I’m not sure the flowers above are tulips though. The stems, leaves seem different.

        If those are peonies, I’ve never seen such yellow ones before.

      2. melodylowes

        These are called ‘globe flowers’, or trollius. They are relatives to buttercups I believe.

      Thank you! In my garden the yellows come first – and then the pinks and blues!

    I love shape poetry. I want to do some, but have not been able to make them look the way I want.

      It’s a fun challenge, although on this one particularly I had to sacrifice some of the words I would have rather used in order to crate the round shape. Sometimes it is worth it to achieve the effect you want, and sometimes it isn’t…
