Cherry Blossoms Attain a New Absoslute Peak

Image
The other day a passerby turned to her fellow walker:  "You should have seen these trees yesterday; they were at their absolute peak." Of course I understand the comment, having depleted many a day lamenting the loss of yesterday's pilfered beauty.

New Camera !

Image
Here's a shot from my new Nikon 5100.  I can't actually tell whether the color is adjusted correctly, since it depends on the monitor. This was taken at 1/13 second at f4.0 without flash at night.  Usually one would need a tripod.  The ISO was set at 400.

A Long Road Winds Along the Edges

Driving and singing through the Rained-on night, tossing miles away With lightening speed Thundering and gay with promises. I didn’t see at first, but there you were Together. Torn inside out and dead with rage I birthed a cunning plot. Pock-marked and coffin nailed It scythed across my maliced cheeks. I stayed there frozen to the icy metal in my mind. The streets were black and finger wet With all those boring tears. At last it let me go; I see how I was sickened with it. I’m on the road again now, flying over bean fields Winding over the edges. A half a tank of gas A glove compartment map A fishbowl full of matchbook covers
