It’s nice she sees things as I do;
The lines, the light, the textures too;
Before the world has poisoned us with what we’re allowed to see
What we may say, what we may do; what we’re supposed to be –
But Seekers know that they can see the smooth silk branches in the sun
Of the past-blooming, but still beautiful, wood of the Rhododendron.
I almost want to caress the wood - so smooth - see how it shines?
Some years I’ve made it here to see the glorious flowering time.
Well seen with very beautiful tones. I can appreciate how difficult it is sometimes while hiking to make an image that successfully separates a foreground branch from the background, and this image does that very well with selective focus and light.
Also, I have enjoyed hiking at Cumberland Falls State Resort Park.
