My Muse

In Greek mythology there were nine muses. Three of them were deticated to poetry. Calliope was for Epic Poetry which has now turned into today's general writing. Erato for lyric Poetry, that has become is today's prose. Lastly, Polyhymnia for Choral Poetry, things like hymns or songs fall in this catagory. So I am tapping into my muses, Calliope, Erato, and Polyhymnia; and giving you my soul.

A slightly Different Song...



Well I am posting a different type of blog here today. I was drawn to my camera this afternoon to take pictures of the outside world. Not that I think I have any spectacular skills in photography but nature tends to speak for its self. So no words from my mind or music to my muses today, just art for the soul, fresh from the world around us! they look like they are kissing to me,,,, the one lone blue flower in a sea of daffodils.
have you ever noticed what side of the tree ivy grows on? it seems to choose one side before the other.

the twisted tree in my neighbor's yard, it is so intriguingly breathtaking.





weeping cherry.



the twisted tree again, i played with the photoshop to create this picture.
plum tree.

i personally love forsythia. it just makes me smile.

it may be a weed but it is still around in the spring!!!


plum tree.
I decided to end this odd little post with my favorite shot of the day. I have no idea why this shot is my favorite. in fact it doesn't focus on anything. none the less it is the most interesting to me.

so happy spring everyone!!!

until the fates let us,
Ali

  1. I love the pictures. I love bulb flowers, but they don't grow well down here--it doesn't usually get cold enough in the winter to make them go dormant, so you have to dig them up and stick them in the fridge if you want them to bloom in spring. So much trouble! I also love the plum and cherry trees--we just don't have them down here, but they're gorgeous! We went up to Pennsylvania a couple years ago around this time of year and that was one of my favorite memories, all those flowering trees.
    Sorry to ramble--I just love your pictures! You're quite the photographer!
