  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.

    Is my memory playing tricks, or have you used this inviting gate before – before the dahlias emerged?

    1. Your memory is keen. I’ve used it a few times – once before the dahlias emerged and another year when the orange dahlias were the guardians of the gate. It leads to a walk in the woods we call “the loop” where various little buddhas have been placed in contemplation spots. So this gate does always seem to be inviting me to take that walk. Even the dog hears the invitation.

  4. Jazz Jaeschke – Jazz Jaeschke found poetry at mid-life, retired, and got a whole lot happier. Jazz spends many solo hours with her journal and poetry. Her memoir, in poetry, was published in 2002 (titled: Significance). A sequel is incubating. Photography, labyrinths, SoulCollage(R), Nature, and travel arouse her muse and poems spill forth. She facilitates an Internet poetry circle for Story Circle Network. Jazz lives in Austin, Texas, with two cats, one exuberant Labrador, and her just-right man.

    Another of your enchanting image/verse combos – where are you geographically?

  9. Cynthia Guenther Richardson – Pacific NW – Hello fellow readers and bloggers, Writing has always been a powerful connector to diverse ideas and people. We each are a meaningful part of this beautiful, ever-widening web of life. Blogging enables more interaction, which I love even after 11 years of blogging posts on three different sites. For thirty years I was an addictions/mental health counselor and also a manager of home care services for elderly folks. Now that I have hit 70 and am more devoted to a creative life! I've published online or in literary journals/collections several times, including fiction and creative non-fiction pieces and poetry over five decades. Additionally, I was nominated for a Pushcart Prize for an excerpt of my novel-in-progress, Other than Words (the work gathering dust at present), about a mute dancer and her impact on her adopted community and a world-travelling photojournalist. I also am working on a connected set of stories about a close-knit town in northern Michigan. On Wordpress I enjoy writing about living richly despite (or because of) life's setbacks and a diagnosis of heart disease at age 51. Posts tagged "memoir" share spiritual adventures, interactions with nature, the healing of trauma's impact and challenges of writing full-time. Short stories and creative nonfiction, and poetry are favorite genres but I enjoy sharing my photography as well My hope is my offerings reflect a profound faith in God and our humanness which cloaks spiritual natures. I include myself as part of the diverse group of writers who discover and share the illuminating, positive experiences amid life's uncertainties and hardships. Let me hear from you when you visit--I appreciate your comments a great deal. Blessings and regards, Cynthia

    I mistakenly read: “Dahlias at the gate of the world, ushering us…”. I do like yours better 🙂 Happy gate!

  11. The poem goes so well with the photograph. It gave me a fresh view of that very fresh but also somewhat classical (classy too!) scene.

    I don’t know flowers, so I looked for connections and found one I really like in relation to your post: “. . . the dahlia flower expresses sentiments of dignity and elegance. It is also the symbol of a commitment and bond that lasts forever.” (http://peopleof.oureverydaylife.com/symbolic-meaning-dahlia-flower-7782.html)
