A Fresh Endeavour

So now I've taken a leave of life,
I thought you'd like to know, I still
Possess a mind in love, oh wife;
A soulful eye to catch a show of
Silent beauty - ever yours;
An ear to pick the metaohors
Of tonal dance in words you say,
Grasp a thought in verse you pray
Inside your head, bemused of mind,
Softly mournful, intertwined with
Understanding tears.

I'll drift a whisper o'er to you
To tell that I am quietly calm;
Keeping time till your adieu
To flesh, upon the carol of a
Psalm of consummation. Now!
A fresh endeavour - we're forever
One together, resting yonder,
Cross our open plane of blue.

This is my first attempt to capture snow/ice flakes with a camera. This one was done with my point and shoot, holding it best I could without shaking. I will have to try again sometime with my SLR/macro lens/tripod.

Too lazy to go hiking today. I'm not in the mood to be cold but I want to do something productive. I guess I'll go to the gym, run 6 miles on the dreadmill and maybe go out for a stroll in the woods.

I cannot get enough of this waterfall. I have been to Black Chasm, twice. Once in the summer, another time in the winter. I'd like to go again but think it too dangerous to go into the Platte Clove area alone to shoot waterfalls. Many people have lost their lives falling off clifts trying to get a view as well as a few photographers who risked their lives getting the perfect shot. If anyone is interested in shooting waterfalls in the Platte Clove/Devil's Kitchen/Black Chasm area this sping/summer please flickr mail me to arrange a trip.

Nothing Fancy--No filters, no tri-pod.
