Pictures and Poems

So I have this new camera that I’m kind of in love with. And I’ve decided to start posting a lot more pictures, because a lot more of my pictures turn out to be pretty good now.

But I thought to myself, is posting arty shots pretentious enough? No, I said to myself, you need to post pictures and poetry. That’s pretentious. That’s what I’m going for. To wit:

Blue Poppy, Butchart Gardens, May 2006

Now a bit of poetry, by Jorie Graham:

The Way Things Work

is by admitting
or opening away.
This is the simplest form
of current: Blue
moving through blue;
blue through purple;
the objects of desire
opening upon themselves
without us; the objects of faith.
