Tanka Tuesday

a mid morning breeze

leaves in a carefree tumble

flutter, dip, and swoon

with lilt of a butterfly,

grace bestowed, free to the end

Off The Pier

Yeap! Honest to goodness alternate way of fishing witnessed off the pier in my neighborhood this Sunday evening.

The only other place I have ever seen this type of fishing was in the Mediterranean!!

Hope your Sunday was as delightful as mine:)

Thursday Doors

 

Only a couple this week. I’ve been falling off on my door excursions lately. The door was rather plain compared to the surround.  So detailed! This actually looked like there were apartments in here, as opposed to a private home. Truly eye catching. This was around Jerolomon St, downtown Brooklyn.

Tanka Tuesday – Compromise

below the surface
hidden in these reflections,
lives of compromise
where ocean water meets fresh –
overcoming, adapting
