Slanted Light
October 19, 2011
Where trees grow there are leaves to rake,
Limbs to trim, debris to compost,
And walks to take among slanted light.

Absolutely gorgeous! Inspires me to take a walk, but walking around the city block won’t have such beautiful scenery. You certainly have a way with both the camera and words. Thank you Dianne for sharing your talent with us today. Very inspiring, uplifting and welcome.

Ahhh, thanks Bernadine. City walking isn’t as pretty as country or park strolls, but you’re more apt to get a better workout as you won’t be distracted by breathtaking views. –Dianne
