The Lens Artists Challenge prompt for this week is “Dreamy” (The illustrations are from my book Sunup Sundown Song.)
For some reason, I just love the photo of this rhinoceros beetle. It was crawling on my garage wall and I just liked the color mix as well as the holes in the surface of the wall that echo its spots.
I also loved this display in a beauty shop. Imagine doing anything at all with nails like these!!!!
And this is another favorite photo of mine. Taken at the Archaeological Museum in Mexico City. I took the photo from the back so it was reflected in the glass in the front which also reflected the wall behind. I love the effect.
For Lens Artists Challenge #367:Everyone should see this!

Longing
This morning’s church bells’ constant bongings
woke me to familiar longings.
Coded as they were in dreams,
when I awoke, they split their seams
and spilled into my conscious thought.
Futile to yearn for what I’m not.
No longer young or lithe or trim,
no passions spilling from my brim.
No husband, mother, father, lover.
No guardians to watch and hover.
I’ve grown away from most of life,
connections severed as with a knife.
Still, I do not long for these.
I do not pray on bended knees
for what is past or what is lost,
for I know pining’s pain and cost.
My longing, now, is just to see
what life’s plot is left to me.
For Lens Artists Chanllenge, the prompt is “Longing.”
for the Lens Artist Challenge, these are my “Go To” Places.

I didn’t even try to count the number of notices that must have been tacked, nailed, stapled and screwed onto this tree turned telephone/ light pole. What better symbol of the busyness of our lives…and the effect it might be having on nature?
For Lens Artists Challenge #336-only one picture We were to choose a photo meaningful to us and to explain why we chose it.
