a turbulent time

the planet in an uproar

the earth pushes back

steady roll, unrelenting –

it seems warnings are no more

After Words – Quadrille

Posted on by jazzytower

These conversations of ours

It feels like you are forever in my presence

moreso than when you walked the earth

So agreeable, and still with the jokes

Don’t you have somewhere else to be?

What type of grieving is this?

– these conversations of ours

Blush

Posted on by jazzytower

I live near a pier. The only activity here is from the locals – a virtual united nations. No boats, no ferries and that is a good thing.

People come out to fish. But I’ve come to realize that this is less about fishing, and more about community. They come out for sunrise, sunsets and in between, picnics and barbecues on days spent by the water.

People are just people. And when we allow for that, we’re all the better for it.

sunrise off the pier

a very picturesque blush-

here, the earth meets sky

Thursday Doors – Around Brooklyn

Posted on by jazzytower

This was a what tha..& pull over sighting in my movement around Brooklyn a few days ago. I was able to Google it and found some info on it. It’s a Queen Anne Style carriage house built in 1882! From what I read this is in Clinton Hills. Part of what was once mansion row. To read more about it go here

To see what it looked like on the inside when it was listed for sale go here

I think I read that it sold this past January for $3.7 mil. Another one of those odd pockets of really cool houses you can find around Brooklyn. I call them survivors.

Not far away from those, were these frame houses. Another pocket. These were either in Fort Greene or Clinton hills.

I just loved the blue on this door. And on a closer look I noticed th ironwork. Nice, I thought

This one is the door to a huge Presbyterian Church..in Fort Greene I think

That is all for this week for Thursday Doors over at No Facilities with Dan. To participate or see other entries go here .
