But focusing thoughts is often best done (for me, anyway) on a tiny part.<BR/><BR/>Kind of like a poem is a condensation of a view or an experience. I still want the experience, but a poem about someone else's experience lets me almost experience it, too. <BR/><BR/>What a tongue-twister. I don't even know if I'm making sense!laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-14594683209446051802009-01-17T09:16:00.000-05:002009-01-17T09:16:00.000-05:00Beautiful poem, beautiful photo: images for the mi...Beautiful poem, beautiful photo: images for the mind and the eye.dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292813474160548707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-71679664883602148202009-01-17T06:23:00.000-05:002009-01-17T06:23:00.000-05:00Mary Lee this is fabulous!!

I often see the Eastern sky from my bedroom window and then run up to the attic and stick my head out the window to see the Western sky, turn my head to the East, back and forth. I am fascinated by the reflection/echo. <BR/><BR/>Also, the sun was really doing its thing that day. I saw another 365 photographer on Twitter dmcordell posted: <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmcordell/3201557005/" REL="nofollow">Her photo on flicker of sundogs.</A><BR/><BR/>I was actually standing outside in the parking lot at school, trying to rush Buddy into the car until I saw the sun. I whipped out my camera and stood entranced. He started saying, "oh MOM! Come on! Not the camera again!" LOL<BR/><BR/>I love that we saw the sunset and photographed it together thousands of miles apart. FUN! I love that we posted it and that you found a poem that fit perfectly with the whole story, from cold to sunset to connections. Too Cool!Andromeda Jazmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355192738014962965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-87637068199087814572009-01-16T21:03:00.000-05:002009-01-16T21:03:00.000-05:00Wow, wow, wow!Come visit us in Colorado-- it's sup...Wow, wow, wow!<BR/><BR/>Come visit us in Colorado-- it's supposed to be sixty degrees all weekend!

I usually prefer the sunrise, because it feels so secret and more personal, but this sunset really is spectacular in its unrestrained beauty.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225998457253574928noreply@blogger.com
