Folks, I have been noodling & feeling inspired by the #imageandverse prompts. It feels good to be making poetography, which is fusing my photos with my poems😊

According to this woolly bear caterpillar, we're going to have a moderate winter. Happy autumn!

What Imagination Does

“The function of the imagination is to perceive the connection, or rather, the common element, in apparently unrelated things, their unity and diversity, without losing their diversity and unity.”
– R. H. Blythe

Moon holds its own lantern

Cluster of pale blush-white rhododendron blossoms glowing softly among deep green leaves. The flowers are backlit and luminous against a dark shadowed background, with delicate pink centers and gently curled petals creating an intimate, almost moonlit atmosphere.

It's my obligatory hype-up for #poetography, Round 3.

My signature style of #photography is #minimalism.

'It’s amazing. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it. Everyone is talking about it.'

Uggh. I find we're living in a moment of too much of everything, but mostly: there's too many fkn words.
A heart shaped piece of ice floating by another piece of ice, above some words that say: "Like Poetry, Poetography tries to say more with less."

under one of those night skies,
cutting a swathe through the breeze
and gently closing your eyes.”

Birdwatching goes both ways

#BirdwatchingGoesBothWays
Band-tailed pigeon perched on a stone inlaid birdbath, turned over its shoulder to look back at the viewer. Red eye bright, expression alert and almost knowing. Soft green background blurs into vertical light. The moment feels reciprocal, as if bird and observer are meeting each other’s gaze.

Backlit, they become
something other than blossoms—
a brief agreement
between light and petals.

#StunDay #BloomScrolling #PoetryOfNature #ImageAndVerse #poetography
White rhododendron blossoms at the crown of the tree, backlit in strong daylight. The background falls into deep black from contrast, making the flowers appear to glow. A few green leaves are faintly visible, the rest of the image dissolving into light and shadow.

Healing is not about
becoming whole again.

It’s about learning to fly
with beauty even in
the torn places.

A dragonfly perched on a curved rhododendron branch. The view is from behind, showing a gray abdomen leading into outstretched wings. Its right forewing is torn and ragged. Light glints on the remaining wing surfaces and on one dark, glossy eye. The background is softly blurred grey framed with natural greenery.

These Are Times of Tensions...
obviously but this segues into my last #Poetography event post. You see, a few thousand kilometers ago I noticed that #beauty is everywhere and that #joy bleeds from our everyday existence. Then I realized something else...

Glen is screaming. A historic smoke stack from a demolished meat plant in front of a scifi looking modern wall that is a bus barn.

Thank You...
to @kimmannix.bsky.social for asking me to participate in last night's 'Poetography' speaking event downtown. I enjoyed the evening. Kim is a great moderator; my fellow panelists were lovely. The venue? Perfect! My family came and didn't heckle me, until the drive home. 😉
#thanks #yeg
The rugged handsome presenter with his wife Leah... Rando yeg tag that I saw on the way to the event... Me answering a lowball question from someone I had planted in the audience. Afternoon set up in the space. The best part. Quiet. With tools and art.

A female Rufus hummingbird hovers in front of the window. Her head and neck are still while her body and wings are moving in a soft blur. On her throat is a secret ruby patch lit from the snow light beneath her. She has a white belly, and copper colored sides and wings. Her cheeks are mottled with greenish brown feathers, and the crown of her head is greenish brown.

Poetography...
I'm in an event next week with 2 other #artists. I've enjoyed preparing for this because it's new & different. Truthfully, I don't speak/think about my #photography much, IRL. Externally, anyway. This is my 1st post on my #poetic eye (affliction) with examples. More: shorturl.at/l1PWv
A poster I created to isolate an example of how I think photography intersects with poetry. Joy. A moon between two light posts on a pink dusk sky. Silence. A woman and two dogs at dusk, with mobile phone. Row. A young rower in river mist.

A sky blue Steller’s jay purchase on a square wooden post. There are black bars on the birds wing and tail feathers. The bird's shoulders, neck, head, beak and crest are ebony. The bird is looking back over its right shoulder at the viewer, its crest is erect. A tiny beam of sunlight bounces off of its right eye. The right side of the bird is lit by sun. The left side turned towards shadow. The background is many tones of evergreen. There is a senryu poem on this photo entitled "Idyll" it reads: "Idle jay / monarch of mischief / royal blue patience".
