  1. derrickjknight – UK – I am an octogenarian enjoying rambling physically and photographing what I see, and rambling in my head as memories are triggered. I also ramble through a lifetime's photographs. In these later years much rambling is done in a car.

  3. Kentucky Angel – Owensboro, KY – I'm a somewhat normal, extremely old, grammy, living in Kentucky, and living with MS since the age of 15. Just turned 72, so that's a lot of years. I would tell you how many, but I flunked math, and numbers give me a headache, so I avoid them at all cost. I love to crochet, knit, scrapbook, cook and visit with friends in the lobby of the building I live in. Most of the time I have a sense of humor. Other times I don't. At one time I was a musician with a guitar, but after age and time, plus a few falls, I can no longer play my guitar, so it now lives with my son. Now I play the radio, always with perfect pitch. Well, almost always. Depends on the station or the CD I'm listening to. I try to find something to laugh about every day, another way to get thru each boring day without picking my nose in public.

    As beautiful as I remember. I lost you for awhile after my computer crashed, and it has taken me a long time to find you again, but I have always remembered your beautiful photography. Happy New Year.

      1. Thank you so much. I always feel we have a few things in common with our approach to photography. Keep up the great work. Maureen

  10. Gill McGrath – UK – I am an artist. I love paper. I love using limited color/colour. I work quickly in oils and with pastels. Things close to hand make the best subjects for me. I write everyday.... shopping lists, to do lists, poetry of sorts... and a diary, often on the same page. And now I take photos everyday.....and I think I am a street photographer. I am 'In touch with Emma' at ~ gillmcgrath.com

  11. greenmackenzie – Scotland – Hi, I'm Seonaid, and I share my home on the shores of Loch Ness deep in the Scottish Highlands with my husband, my son and a collection of dogs, hens and a cat. I love art which is here now and gone tomorrow...like food and nature...but also have a passion for vintage and the ancient past! Nature is my favourite muse, with her wild ever shifting seasons. I have been using and teaching mindfulness and relaxation for over 20 years, and have yet to become any sort of expert :-) I'm a Psychotherapist and Cancer Support Specialist in Maggies Highlands

  13. Beautiful imagery and such supportive haiku. I long for just 30 minutes in this scene as the temperature outside climbs towards 41o C, thats about 112 o F. The wind is blowing up from the North and gusting at 60 knots with fires burning in rural areas. This is our summer here in Victoria Australia, how I long for a little sojourn in that Northern winter.

    1. I hope the winds die down and the fires die out. I’ll have many more ‘cooling’ images as your summer proceeds.

  16. I would have never thought of lichen on granite as “warm” – but compared to your wire “holding” the cold, it truly seems that way. Lovely how you captured their essence.
