I took a masters class today
in nature's art gallery
as I am just an amateur
a pro I'll never be

but nature has caught my soul
and in her beauty I will drown
while she's dancing passionately
in her colorful gown

so here I am an amateur
flirting with a pro
sometimes she flirts back to me
performing a lightening show

Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

Thanks, glad you liked the pic.
Well, she performed for me in Sanford, Florida, one early morning in September...

(smiles) No one certainly can compare to God and Mother Nature when it comes to photography, but you certainly are one of the next best ones! (kiss on cheek) I just always love your pictures of nature, sweet friend, wish I could take some as good as you, your words and pictures are identically lovely and gorgeous, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Titia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Love your lighthearted approach here. I might just have to add this poem to my personal library, where I can take lessons from it.

I am especially fond of the last strophe.  Thank you very much for this--clever to tie in the artist's eye with fliriting.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Thanks to all for the beautiful replies and Marge, my bestest friend...be sure I will hug you again and I've no doubt we'll find a guy to tote the luggage in change of a hug from us. Who can deny your charm dear lady.

I hope this year, but I don't know yet.
