Elephants

Fifty-six years of elephants in my life. The first photo—Tsavo Game Preserve in Kenya, Second—riding a timbering elephant in Sri Lanka. First it tried to pull down this tree. Next it went lumbering down the bank of the river to cool down in the water. An exciting ride.  Third—a crocheted mama and her baby created by a woman in my village in San Juan Cosala, Jalisco, Mexico. My life has tamed down a bit since those first two photos.

Down in the Grass

Summer in the meadows under shelter of tall grass—
in our youth we never dreamed that it could pass.
We had it firmly tethered so it could not slip away.
It curled in loosened coils around us as we lay.
Oh, tomorrow, wrapped up in today.
We never know the dreams we’ll lose along the way

For the Cosmic Photo Challenge: Down in the Grass

I know, once again my number of photos is excessive. Just take into account that they have been culled from 14,290 photos labeled “grass” in my photos file..Excuses, excuses. The poem is an excerpt from a poem I published years ago named “Desire.”

I’m trying to find one messier than mine. No fair staging yours! I want a photo as is…or a legitimate one from the past. Prize to the winner.  Won’t say what.

Grasshopper..For Last on the Card, April, 2024

13 Replies

Why, every single month, do I see someone posting their Last On The Card photos and it is again a surprise?  Okay… here I go looking….be right back.

 

For once, I actually love my last on the card photo. To be honest, this was second to last but the last one was a QR code and I have no idea what it was for, so will not post it.  This fellow is much more interesting anyway.  And for once it didn’t jump just before I snapped the photo!

I’m a Fan of New Friends

Over the last year I have met so many new delightful friends. These are some, but not all of them. Some I have met only once but immediately felt we could be friends. Others I have met more than once but neglected to take photos, so these photos present both recent friendships made and potential ones. And, stay tuned, because I actually forgot to post this this morning and hours later, I found something else I am a fan of and I’m reblogging an old blog that explains all. So, two posts for this prompt today!! HERE is the other one.
