One of the reasons I love the Star Magnolia so much is that each blossom has its own shape & posture seemingly expressing its own emotions.

A stunning turquoise lake at sunset. Two mountains form a v with a glacier behind it at the other end. There are rocks in the foreground with a green plant with small yellow flowers in front of the lake. The sky is pale blue with a few dark gray clouds that are glowing orange right above the glacier.

Week 7/52, Unexplored. I chose in camera multiple exposure. This is 10 frames shot and blended in camera. Only edit was to remove distractions and recrop. Details in Alt text

Image is of a cyclamen plant, taken with multiple frames and blended together. After a bit of struggle to figure out what I was going to do with this, I realized that there were functions in my camera that were largely unexplored. So after some thought, I set on multiple exposure, specifically with what's known as the Pep Ventosa Technique. The maximum number of frames I could use was 10, so It's not as soft as I would have liked, but I'm happy with the result. I was reminded that it pays to look into the tools in your hand to see if there's a new way to use them. The resulting image created in camera is a jpg file, so there was not a lot of data to work with. I removed some distracting elements in the background, increased clarity and cropped to 8x10 because I wasn't as happy with my original composition as it had too much negative space.

Just a short walk from Karekare Beach is this little hidden treasure of Karekare Falls. Two young lovers are sitting on a rock outcropping, snuggled up as they take in the beauty of this waterfall nestled deep in the Waitākere Ranges. The surrounding forest is verdant and provides a perfect frame for the photo. A family explores closer to the catchment below the falls.

“...real people finding courage
to offer love and care
to those who are wounded.
Which is all of us.
That’s when I woke,
determined to audition
for that show every day
for the rest of my life”

Story-ALTtext⬇️
An abstracted still life featuring a vase of flowers. The poem continues: “I stood on the dream sidewalk staring up into the vast dream dark and thought, someone made a movie about tenderness-- real people finding courage to offer love and care to those who are wounded. Which is all of us. That’s when I woke, determined to audition for that show every day for the rest of my life” I like the idea of tenderness as an expression of courage. More of that in the world, please.❤️

You evade the logic and the arguments telling you not to dream. You stay enchanted. A small spark that dances unseen. Placing your thoughts in songs that the fireflies chase. Stories that follow you home even on the darkest of nights.

I enjoy making prints from wrinkled up plastic bags, and then looking for faces and figures in the patterns.

Monotype. Acrylic on paper.

Summers breeze
And Winters chill
Both wear the #enchanted
On their sleeves

Bare limbs of trees
Snug in snowy blankets
And carefree blossoms
Swaying their perfume
In the air

Intoxicating us with their charm
We become magical
Stories in the making

Week 3 of #NaHaiWriMo, we embark on a holistic path into #haiku through the incredible #haiga #art of Cendrine Marrouat (@cendrinemedia.bsky.social):

In spring
how easily one forgets
winter

Join us next Tuesday for more Haiku Month #WolfPack Highlights.

#PoetryCommunity #poetry #VisualPoetry ✍️
Cendrine Marrouat’s black and white haiga painting depicts a curvaceously bare tree. Centered amidst tall wisps of grass, its trunk tapers toward the base and splits at the top. The delicate grey wash background denotes a dusky, serene mood. Paired beneath the artwork floats an inked haiku on the right: In spring how easily one forgets winter

A sequel to the Jaberwockky

I hope I'm not too unworthy.
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: But frumpid seemed the borogoves, No longer flim and labe. “'Twas once the Jabberwock, my son That frolluped through this morble way, To knill the Bandersnatch's fun And hold the Jubjub bird at bay But since that man, with vorpal sword;  A hero he aloofed himself— Set off, with many uppish word To dreams of gorbish wealth So cumberlaiden by his thought; With head all wimbered in the clouds- He soon the rangus monster caught And swung his blade round proud Then one, then two, the Jubjubs came To fill the air with garbled squwacks, And somerrating through the plain, The grows, of fruminous Bandersnatch. “So who hast slain the Jabberwock? Who now to blame this vulgrous day! The monster's dead, but now instead Far worse have come our way. ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Were emptied of both beast and prey: No man still trudged the borogoves, This grottled, blood stained day.
