For Mandy

The collaborations between your words and my photos have always been extra special in my heart. Thank you Mandy for enhancing my experience in this blogosphere :)

Old creation given new life

You can't tell but the scene WAS taken one crazy morning in Szentes many moons ago . The apple(s) of course was added later by yours truly.

Story behind this post...
When Mandy requested from a bunch of us for a photo of apple, I remembered this and dug it out from my archive . Then she come up with this haiga which I simply love!

Mandy submited it to an interesting astropoetry project - Newton and the Striking Apple coordinated by Andrei Dorian Gheorghe . This morning, I got news that our work (mainly Mandy's) have been published . Do visit the site, it's an eye opener (for me)

Many thanks to Mandy and Andrei for this opportunity!

Oh, here's wishing all a blessed new year !

still on 2 weeks ago....

cold water

the lights are on

Haiga ~ Stiff

cold morning
even the limbs of trees

feel stiff

Not much action at the football field (behind the trees), so I compensate with this reflection shot. While the haiga is another collaboration with Mandy . Thanks so much , Mandy!:)

Dry is going..

yesterday's sweat
blown all away
by today's sun

Laundry service is almost non-existent here since nearly every household owns a washing machine. Before the wet weather takes over, I'm using every bit of the sun shine to clear the laundry :) Happy Sunday!

Word of appreciation :-

*Mandy has been so kind to write me this haiku on short notice. I think she did a great job describing the photo, don't you think?
