days end brings us
here
momentarily
to this place
of familiar terrain
you and i
we take pause
with shallow breath
hearts racing
friend or foe
in locked gaze
caution recalled
as boundaries dissolve
with departing tide
reflections
friend or foe
which be you
friend
or
foe

I always find it fun and challenging to find a photo and embrace it with words that tell a story. There are others who do it so much better than me like Brian at WayStationOne. Take a few minutes and wander around his posts. He is very talented!
I may be a little absent on my visits this week. I'm traveling out to Scottsdale to visit a friend and then joining up with The Professor who will have put in a couple of days of Utah skiing and visiting our son. I won't be skiing this trip ... my knees just aren't up to it lately. (This growing old business is not for the young of spirit!)
Oh well ... at least I'll enjoy the 'apres' part of it!
Thanks for dropping by and I'll look forward to catching up with all of you later this week.

Beautiful image you have made.
Sounds like a good plan. And you will be able to take some pictures this way ;) Safe travels!
Enjoy the sun and the snow .. travel safe and I look forward to seeing you on Sunday! xo
safe travels. you have fun. maybe you will find some great shots to share. (:
What a beautiful picture, with all those colours in the background. They're such sweet little birds too.
I like the story you have put with this picture, and the photo is adorable. Growing old ain't for sissies, as Bette Davis once said. Have fun on your break!!!!
What a cute little couple of birds.
This is a beautiful image, I don't know what you are using to edit it but you are good girl! Love the words too!
Have a wonderful trip! Hugs! ♥
Hi Ms. Reena!!
Lovely pictures as usual....My assistant had to take my Grandmapeep to the dr. today we are soooooooo late. We wish you safe travels!! Mom says she'd be ok not skiing (MOL not that she knows how) but she has always wanted to be at a ski lodge in the winter with a good book, a fireplace and a steaming cup of coffee.
Hugs Madi
Have a great time! Really nice image!
And I will look forward to catching up with you on Sunday. Can't wait!
Have a great time on your little vacation. We have been running around so much that I have a hard time getting packed, unpacked and repacked for each place we go. Sometimes it becomes a lot of work.
Love the photo and words accompanying it!

love the picture and I think you are very good at matching words to the photos.
Happy travels to you, enjoy your visits
Right or wrong, black or white, friend or foe.
And Yin-Yang.
Your words are lovely, Reena, and so is the image. Enjoy your trip.

You've got your travelin' shoes on don't you?!! We just get you back from FL and you're off again! Love it!!.... have fun watching the skiers and sunsets in the mountains!
Lovely words to accompany your capture. Have a wonderful trip!
Your capture looks like a painting, Reena, and is so beautiful, as are your words! Such a lovely post for the day! I do hope you have a great trip. I know all too well about knees and you're so right about growing old not being for the young of spirit!!
Sylvia
Very pretty....
Oh, I fear I'd have to join you in the "apres" part!! The knees here won't handle stuff like that any more either. But I bet there'll be something interesting to do -- lots of good people watching and photo taking, maybe?
smiles...i have been offline most of the day and what a treat to come back to right before bed...thank you for the smiles...and a lovely verse as well...def know the feeling as boundaries blur..friend or foe...
Well I happen to thing your writing is fabulous.. Right up there with your photos...
Hugs, Linda
Beautiful capture and lovely words, Reena! Have a safe and fun trip to Utah.
Yea I hear ya on that knee stuff.... getting old sucks! Great poem to go along with the photo! It's a talent to be able to do both!
Gorgeous words and a lovely artistic photo! Enjoy your time away.
I always love what you do with your photos - and this time with your words, too, and the talented Brian Miller is one of my most favorite bloggers. Maybe next time you get out to AZ we can meet. Enjoy your trip! We're having gorgeous weather.
Having just returned from a wo-week trip to Phoenix/Scottsdale I can tell you this is one of the best times to visit. The flowers are gorgeous, the nights crisp, and the days warm. I'll be glad to see what you find to photo from my old hometown!
enjoy AZ and I hope you find friends not foes
Happy trails!
Great photo! Enjoy your trip.
Beautiful (and thought-provoking) words to accompany a most-beautiful photo, Reena.
It's not easy to write poetry especially if it has to accompany a painting or a photo. I find it hard.
It's an impressionist's colors.Very nice.
Brian is really very talented, isn't it? But you did a great job, too! Have fun on all your adventures!
Travel safe friend! Look forward to more of your wonderful photos when you return.

The way those birds are watching you is really interesting. I see why they inspired your poem.
Great colors. They must be twins. :-)
I always love your sea bird captures, Reena. :)
Another lovely post.. the image is beautiful..
Take care on your travels.
Such a beautiful image and words :-)
I hope you enjoy your travels :-)
So beautiful. All of it - both the words and the images!
So sweet Reena...
Have a good week!
