I saw you
Dancing in the light
Like the first time
Except wiser then before
I wanted you all over again
Yet seeing the choices
Like I never did
Or yet in sync with time
I bowed to your beauty
And waited .................

Some hearts are warm inside
You see it in a smile and a feeling
Like warm gravy on a good meal.

Hospitality flourishes at the table
Set by love and fragrant aromas
Of loving thoughts and moments graces.

So in the winter of blessings
Filled with deep rooted renewal
You seek them out, you seek them out ...... with loving attention

Icy landscapes
Filled with light
Vistas of color bright

Cold mornings
Grey clouds burdened
With heavy moisture falling

In a grace filled moment
They drifted together
From who knows where or when

Creating a aurora of delight

Picture was duplicated in two layers one layer was gaussian blurred 16.4 using multiply blend mode for orton effect... the lower layer was made into a B&W Infrared .... adjusted and flattened.... the flattened image was then duplicated and then a distortion filter was ran on top image to get waves and distortion... this image was made into a overlay and adjusted you can see distortion in water and sky around trees
The image was flattened and then colors were dodged ... like you would do in traditional darkroom

I use this distortion technique in my text images to get waves and movement in the text using blend modes

Heavenly butterflies
Long lost flowers
Johnny smoking summers
Hanging out in the trees
Stolen kisses at a movie matinee
Shaven ice with lemon syrup
You were just a dream I had
On my way into the fifties
Love me tender love me true
Dancing into another year .............

The rabbit drank all the tea
Alice had a tiff with the queen
The caterpillar grew wings and flew away
Looking for a hookah along the way
She saw the door locked up tight
Taking a peek through the keyhole
She gasped Oh my God
And laughed the rest of the day .........

Moses fell asleep at the shore
The water parted the gulls arrived
Waking up he looked out to sea
The gulls laughed;he laughed
The fish ran for cover and God
Was at a loss for words
It was the seventh day ..........

Originally uploaded by artphoto2005

I saw you
In the passing light
Reflected on the edges of a rose
This morning flower
First to catch my eye
Without a thought
Of the thorns
Buried beneath the vision
Of the light and fragrance of the rose
All I thought about
Ever after was
The passing light
Your scent and my desire
For you ..........
