The geometry of leaf and petal, stamen and shadow, creates a world more wondrous and ephemeral almost than dreams. The sun returns briefly this afternoon, not long enough to dry up our puddles, but fleetingly to illuminate the mystery of a wild rose.

I decided to continue on after a year, because this document had become a treasured reflective spot in my life. There are some changes in "Year 2," expanding options for my weekly poem beyond sonnet to add some other forms-- rondeau or triolet, villanelle. I added the decima in late January 2010, and the pantoum in August. Definitions of each form appear below. I continue to post a photo daily, but may post several pictures taken on one day over the course of a week if I have an interesting series. I may even post an old photo if I'm writing about something I'm thinking back to. I'll continue to have fun with this project; I hope you will too. For Year 3 I tried including other people in the self-portraits that accompany my poems, adding "Musical Sundays" to post mp3s of my music, but these petered out in a few months. This is simply a place for my daily thoughts & photos, and weekly poems in the forms I love. Onward...!
so very true. thats why one should not analyze every thing.

the quiet observer is a role not often practiced in society today, but it has its rewards.
