“Silver liquid drops”

I took my camera out of the bag after several months of hibernation.  Here are a few photos from this tree my soggy backyard, along with some of my favorite quotations.  I appreciate anew the perspective that looking through the lens provides.

“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”        ~ W.B. Yeats

“Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.” ~ Henry David Thoreau

Let the rain kiss you.  Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.  Let the rain sing you a lullaby. ~ Langston Hughes
