Houston commercial photography

go with your currents
let them free you up Bayou Lafourche
I sometimes sit on your bank
observing your flow, your ever steady flow
emptying finally into the
Intercoastal  Waterway at Larose
eh . . . as I sit ‘neath
a centuries’ old huge cypress tree
being pestered by a busy bee
I realize
the acreage where I sit
thousands of suns
augmented by a changeable moon
have come and gone
as well . . . will
my steps fade one day
to be replaced forever more

Oh..super flecks! I love the pic Jerry!

You be *temptin' the gators again, I seez
Very Poe-esque of you today hun..I like it!
Sobering thought, that we all jus' get
replaced in life's never ending current of footsteps.

Enjoyed and be good! (as-if.. ya?) raize hellz if ye must- to smile..winx

Sadly, we have to accept that our footsteps will someday fade and be replaced by those who come after us. Love your photo, esp. the bottle with someone trapped inside (not you, I hope) just floating on top of the waves.

No doubt acceptance of those coming behind us is a reality thing, and I do accept, jjote. Nope, that isn't me in that bottle, that is me, huffing and puffing, pushing the sea toward the shore . . .
