The old and young…
I just liked the contrast of this, no other reason.. Hope you enjoy.
This is my day number fifty eight!

Your subject is beautiful in its own way — there seems to be a story in those branches
Thank you Pixie, the old and new.. I love seeing nature take it course.
Very kind of you to say so M! Thank you!
Absolutely it’s a great pic. Nice contrast and colour.
Thank you Sanjeev! This is great to hear!
I really enjoyed seeing the old and new images on this post.
Glad you liked it, and thank you!
I think it’s a great shot….very nice contrast indeed!
Thank you Courtney, I loved the old branches, very gnarly!
This is awesome! Very fitting too!
Why, thank you so much Michelle. : D
I also like the contrasts in this, Kim. Between the hard and the soft, the bright and the dark, wood and leaf. It’s an artist’s shot 🙂
Thank you so much Norman! : D
Your photo is so clear, it makes every part of the picture easy to see. This is one of the best shots I have seen. You must have a great type of camera.
Thank you LaJenna, this little camera does really good. It is a fuji film finepix ax. My son and daughter in law won it as a door prize at a party, then gave it to me. Not bad for a freebie huh?
High-quality photos, Kim! How long does it take to prepare this post before you submit it? I may need at least an hour to write an idea in poetry or another form to accompany this beautiful picture! Hehe…
You are a fast worker, Albert, if you can create an idea in poetry in an hour. I work mostly in collaborative poetry, and occasionally an idea will come to me straight away, buy usually it takes at least an overnight to crystallise into something I could share 🙂
Really, Norman? I will spend a lot of time painting or draw an illustration and along the process, the idea of what will be written germinates, grows and spins in mind, but if an image or illustration is available it is usually easier to catch the impression, transform it to an idea and write it down. Perhaps something that is also time-consuming is to write it in rather correct English. Hehehe…
We all work differently! If I am combining image and poem, I find it far more productive to start with the poem. I have tried it the other way around but am seldom satisfied with the result 🙂
I think so, Norman. I have been drawing or painting since childhood, and that’s much earlier than starting to write, so maybe my expression has started and it is fruitful when I paint the rest is to write it in words.
That’s what we need, a poem from Norman!
Great way to put it Albert. I too have been drawing before I was interested in writing the letters. And it carried to adulthood, while writing anything is very hard for me. Words just don’t come..
You’re right, Kim. Since Norman is a poet and we rarely read his work, it would be great if we could enjoy it again!
That is fast, Ive heard of song writers scribbling a song down during lunch etc. An hour is still fast. They must just flow… Thank you Albert. This shot was straight out of the camera. Uploading takes seconds, then about 3 minutes to post and write a paragraph or so.. Not much put into it, but the walks are really fun. : )
Hah!!? I thought I was too slow to write such an article, it turns out I’m still too fast… wow… maybe I need to reflect on it again!
This comparison is very suitable for the photo.
Glad you liked it Elenka, it caught my eye for sure.
Another great photo op on your walk Kim. Have a great day.
I wish you could come with me Carol, we would have so much fun taking pictures.
I would love it as well, if only there were not so many miles between us. 🙁
great picture! Do you struggle to get a picture every day? I find myself taking really lame pictures many days to avoid not having one.
I take them in week increments. Meaning I take the dogs out for one good walk a week, and take enough to get me through the week. If not I do yard stuff, or macros and still life’s inside.
I will be having a just for fun challenge soon, kind of like the color crazy but each week will be a different theme. This might give you some ideas.
