Within the Walls
the oldest house in the city
early 1800s
voices of the past
are heard from the walls if it is quiet
the intrigue is imagining what it was like
what was the view from the windows
the sound of the front door opening
cold winter nights
warm humid summers
clattering of horses
then cars
then more

iPhone 6s; Image post in iOS Affinity Photo, macOS Photos, and Tonality 1.4.2--Ratcliffe-Allison-Pozer House, Fairfax, Virginia. This challenge was to take just one photo--then work with it to make it work.

No Distractions
take the color away
what is left is the beauty of lines and shapes
the structure
the make up
the relationship between parts
there is a story in and of itself
that comes from the core
with no distractions
this is the power of black and white

yet they are all different
it takes a garden
to see that beauty surrounds
if only for the moment

Social Life of Seeds
seeds
seemingly random
set together as individuals
pairs and couples
groups and gaggles
open space
similar

interacting differently

Accidental
started in one place
then within the flow
ended in another

at times an idea is not necessary
just the willingness to start somewhere
anywhere
and the courage to let the journey take a life of its own

the idea of pencil shavings
came from doing something else
the result was unexpected
unplanned
reward

reminder of vulnerability and insignificance
imagination and fear of dreams

nothing more than soy milk poured into water
inverted and adjusted to another time

Leading Lines
Manassas Battlefield National Park, Virginia--

these leading lines
mark the hallowed fields
barefoot to progress
electricity to flights in the distance
sometimes the silence remains
but most of the time we miss it
both in reflection and the moment

Shell Fragments
grains of sand
magnified they look like boulders
not the small annoying grit of the beach
each from a larger shell
tiny physical witness marks of time
their own individual history
measured in the millions
eventually gathered at the same beach
collective synergy
they will remain
enduring

Two Posts
Clifton, Virginia--

two posts
hold the wire fence
mark the path of the wild
frame the tree
and lead the way up the hill
snow filling the grooves from tractors
trees on the horizon
whistle the wind
occasionally a truck passes
sounds of tires and gravel
even that
it is quiet here
away from bustle
renewal

Autumn in a Pumpkin's Life
not long from now
it will return to under the leaves
clock of the seasons

pumpkin from our garden
on the verge of collapse
struggling to maintain its pride
returning to the leaves
with seeds for next year
the endless cycle

Frozen Whispers
frozen moisture on the storm window
each drop an individual pattern
each drop in a different relation to the others
leading to a synergy of randomness
toned by the color of the light
some are clear
others blur towards nothing
right to left colors shift
a whisper for the moment
within the vision of the beholder
