Default Winters' Woes, just Leaves and Prose
Our winter isn't leaving much behind to shoot, had to settle for these today.

#1 - Perilous Propellers

Where others left, yet hold they on
These stragglers, left behind
The friendship circle, broken, gone
The winter has been kind.



#2 - Decay

With form deformed and toll being took
And natures path, led way
The remnants of what once had look
Now dangles in decay



#3 - Twisted Torture

A cry for help, a last ditch made
Attempt to reach the skies
Alas, too late, soon good-bye bade
One more of Winters' cries.



#4 - Desolation

A barren twig, a branch now light
It's weight robbed by the sun
And dry, and heat, and nature's plight
Left standing, none, but one.



#5 - Delicate Danglers

Off-set against a carpet green
And veils of white, so bland
A last ditch effort can be seen
For pride to take it's stand

Hi Kevin

All great shots, but the colour contrast on the first and the last is really nice to look at. Well done!

All the best

Steve

The not so colorful background enhances the leaf color. Nice.

My thanks in-deed go out to those
That took the time to look
The series seen, by nature chose
She rules then, in my book!

Kev, your poetry sounds like Tolkien!

Are you a Ring fan by any chance?

All the best

Steve

I never knew that Tolkien did poetry.
Loved the whole series, a veritable walk of imagination, and fascination.

Kevin

The LOTR books are full of poetry and singing. True Ring fans are very sad that Peter Jackson only put about 1% of it in the film. There is more in the extended version but to really appreciate it you need to read the books

All the best

Steve
