Old house
stood silent
Held witness 
#spellbound
decades of dust.
Walls peel pain
seeping red rust.
Recollections amplified 
Childโ€™s sobbing
heard from afar.
Small hearts
that wept.
Shadows call 
gather dark.
While secrets dream.
Most oft of despair
than any happiness.
Its rooms may have seen.

A vertical, black and white, photo taken under a bridge.  You can see the decorated concrete, supports as they get smaller and smaller in the distance. In the foreground are palmetto bushes and some palm trees are in the distance on the right side of the photo.

My grandfather on my mums side had again a two door Charger bright orange brand spanking new.

Close up image of Blackform blossom at the top of a stem with raindrops present on many of the open flowers and the one flower bud. The petals are white the centre of the flower is green as is the Stigma and Style while the fliaments are white and the anthers orange.

My grandfather had a 56 Chevy tan and creme leather interior left hand drive.
Drove it down a lane way to park it in his backyard car port behind his house with about an inch either side of wiggle room.
The love of his life.
After he died my uncle sold it for peanuts.
Bet he regrets it to this day

I donโ€™t have a technique other than trial and error donโ€™t use editing apps etc
I transfer then use an iPhone to do small edits and thatโ€™s it.
Lucky. I get pretty lucky half the time as Iโ€™m mostly clueless.

A newborn lamb stands slightly unsteady on green grass, its small body still fluffy with tight, cream-coloured curls. The lamb has delicate black markings on its nose and around one eye, with dark patches on its lower legs and hooves. One ear glows pink in the light, showing the thinness of the skin. The lambโ€™s expression is calm and curious as it steadies itself in the spring pasture. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฑ

After the rain, a single perfect sphere of water rests on the tip of a small Sedum acre โ€” common stonecrop. In this extreme close-up, the unassuming ground cover reveals a hidden world of jewel-like beauty.
The fleshy, scale-like leaves radiate an electric yellow-green, deepening to dark emerald in shadow and warming to golden chartreuse at the tips. The large central droplet sits in perfect balance like a polished lens, capturing the entire scene and reflecting it back โ€” miniaturised, inverted, and glowing. Around it, dozens of smaller drops cling to the stems, each a tiny sphere of frozen light tinted green by the plant beneath.
The waxy cuticle of Sedum causes water to bead rather than absorb, holding every droplet in near-perfect spherical form โ€” a raindrop carrying an entire world within itself.

In contrast to the simplicity of the last post, here is a photograph taken yesterday using a macro settting.

Labouring in the garden for my folks, I took a quick five mins to whizz round snapping the spring garden delights. Saw this lichen clinging in clumps to the structural skeleton of an azalea.

Image shows various smooth, mid-brown winter branches of an established azalea across the frame. In contrast, clinging to that in clumps is frilly, silvery lichen. Behind/below this, blurred, is a border with various plants and a short length lawn.

A busy image, almost too much to take in, but I like it. Bit like spring, there's al lot going on so the eye doesn't quite know what to look at first!

Looming. He stood as I sat on my bed resigned to my punishment.
One step behind her face gloated until a small #jewellery box appeared in his hand.
My only gift from him.
Delicate bluebirds in flight on a gold chain.
Her face fell as he blocked her way.
A symbol of his love.
Setting me free.
