You’ve always craved the limelight, your 15 minutes of fame; you consider publicity your birthright, and exposure for you is a game. Well, I’ve got my lens on you, so obscurity’s a thing of the past; I’ll give you the credit you’re due – your beauty is destined to last! * Isn’t it great to…

You’ve always craved the limelight,

your 15 minutes of fame;

you consider publicity your birthright,

and exposure for you is a game.

Well, I’ve got my lens on you,

so obscurity’s a thing of the past;

I’ll give you the credit you’re due –

your beauty is destined to last!

Isn’t it great to be able to freeze a moment in time, and create a lasting monument?  This ‘Limelight ‘ ninebark shrub is now immortalized!

    Very Beautiful, Melody–now I’ll need to research “ninebark”, as I’m wondering what that means, exactly (nine layers of bark??).

      It’s the name of a family of shrubs with really pretty leaves – all colours of the rainbow almost!!

        Hmmm. I found a fall leaf image that is gloriously beautiful, however I wondered if it was “doctored”/enhanced–maybe not. Perhaps I’ll email it to you and you can give me your expert opinion!

        *she guffaws* ‘Expert’ I am not – but I’d love to see it anyway, just for fun! 🙂

        Okay, I’ll send it.

    Sometimes I wish I could hold those moments longer. But – am happy with the ones given.

      Right – oh, for the wisdom to grab each one as it comes and then let it go in order to catch the next, right?

    I love that about photos, Melody, being able to capture a moment to keep.And your poems do that so well too! Thanks for sharing the beauty of it all!

      And thank you for your consistent encouragement – that, too, is a gift! 😀
