Entrance

D300 - 100 mm, 1/320 sec f/14, ISO 200

No, don't be fooled by the rusty appearance

the smudged corners, the weathered colors.

The door is shut but not for real

it's only shy

and has been wounded.

  1. Soothing calm healing songs falling down around your ears, you are floating in soft healing waters and the incessant barking of the beast has finally quieted. There, now you see the light that you are, and all of those crumpled leaves have finally blown away and you are silent within...

    Merry Christmas, happy solstice, you have been and remain such an inspiration to me my friend.

  5. dear friends, thank you so much for your words.

    It is time now to join the party, hopping among dinners, brunches, toasts, wine tasting, climbing chocolate hills and crossing champagne rivers, etc... hoping at the same time to keep my love handles under control ;-)

    see ya!

  6. HI Dusty,
    Love this because I'm a shy person deep inside. Took years to overcome SOME of it. Oh, I feel this! Well-done. (Here from Poetry Train.)
