Shadows, Light, Reflection

I was in Saco, Maine this past weekend, enjoying a ‘second summer,’ with bright sunshine and temperatures in the 70s. Autumn brings very special light, instigating these incredible shadows and offering gorgeous water reflections. Here’s a slice through photos, sharing some of this extraordinary beauty. Such a gift of a visit!

whispers of trees
dwindling leaves
stretch their arms 
in hope
towards the bright blue sky
soft lapping waves
kisses from the sun
footprints in the sand
problems forgotten
as we walk
shadow bracelets
adorn the trees
gathering together at the pond
dancing a welcome
to autumn
how to describe this photo
this painting
these nature lines 
languishing
sweeping
caressing the shore
wiggles and squiggles
while a shorebird 
reflects

full moon
nestled within branches
strives to appear
reflection fun
a pair of tweezers 
a spot of bother
together playing,
playing together
farewell, sweet Saco
sparkles of sun
soft blue water
rocky edges 
glistening shadowing holding
It’s Tuesday and I’m participating in the Slice of Life.
