Laine's Blog, Thinking Out Loud

Silhouette...

 

 

A trick of the eye...

how close are they to the crashing waves?

 

No photographic tricks,

just a matter of perspective.

Strange Landscape...

 

 

Whichever way the wind blows,

so blows the fog,

and clings

when the weather insists.

Frozen Fog!

 

 

On top of the mountain

the frozen fog

persists!

I'd Forgotten...

 

 

I'd almost forgotten that daffodils were my Mom's favorite flower.

She'd be 100 this year,

if she had survived her difficult challenges -

impending divorce, depression, alcoholism.

Back in the 70's it was all behind closed doors.

 

I'll never know her as a wise old woman,

but as a woman,

who loved the ocean,

daffodils,

and her home.

 

I'd almost forgotten about the daffodils,

but then

I didn't

forget.

 

 

 

 

For my mom, Nancy T. Quinn, born April 12, 1918.

The daffodils are from my recent trip to the mountains in North Carolina, and yes, it snowed! And the daffodils bounced back by the afternoon! © Laine Quinn 2018.
