I was up very late last night and of course nobody saw it then. And today I've been a little crazy doing stuff!

So I have neglected to thank all of you for your wonderful thoughts.

Your comments make this old lady very happy!

"The value of a picture is not proportionate to the trouble and expense it costs to obtain it, but to the poetry that it contains."

That photo inspires a lot of poetry ❤️

Thank you so much! And perhaps you're not aware but poetry is my second hobby!

Your lovely comment made me glad that I write poetry and that I posted that photo.

poetry books, which I adore. There is something about an old book that is so relaxing to me. I especially love the smell; it evokes memories of happy trips to the library as a child.
Poetry and photography do overlap, photos are poems without words.
