It’s Thursday again and I’m still lazy! For macro Monday this week I posted a photo that I edited. Among the comments I received, Christine at http://dadirridreaming.wordpress.com/ and Sandra at http://sandraconner.wordpress.com/ both said that the photo made them think of waves foaming on a beach. Thank you lovely friends, your comments inspired todays lazy poem. Here is a slightly bluer version of Monday’s photo.
Waves of Foam
Foaming ocean laps the Jurassic shore
where molten lava once seared and pitted
into burnished pockets of chalk
that glow pale in the shallows
where volcanic flame no longer scorches
earth but in its place frozen fluid
turned to stone in the countless millennia
before mankind’s dawn
then lapis and bronze lay down its mineral
to adorn sweet womankind’s questing hands
and feet that step through warm golden sand
above the azure sky reflects light
from the firmament holding the source
of celestial waters in balance
I really needed a reason to get me out into the cold at lunchtime and Myfanwy’s 100 steps motivated me! The building next to mine on the campus is the Cancer Care centre, set in a small garden and the walk through is often part of my midday stroll. I started my 100 steps at the grey metal gate and ended at the crocus.
Myfanwy uses her 100 step photo walks as inspiration for her stunning textile art, if you haven’t seen it visit http://chittlechattle.com/
I’ve joined these together through lack of time at the right time. For her weekly Fun Foto Challenge Cee has chosen the 5 Chinese Elements, here are my 5 photos.
There were lots of entries – on time! over at http://www.ceephotography.com/2013/01/29/cees-fun-foto-challenge-fire/
The Grand Western Canal country park weaves its eleven miles through mid Devon from Tiverton right to the border with Somerset. It makes for easy level walking or cycling, with a profusion of wildlife, fishing or even a trip on a horse drawn barge. These are some of the things I saw today.
The Tivertonia looked like it was being prepared for the start of the new season and my photo didn’t turn out well so this is one I found,courtesy of the bbc, of the barge on a summer trip.
As soon as I saw the challenge I knew this photo was my choice, taken last Sunday at a sculpture exhibition at, you guessed it, Rosemoor.

Would you like to join in this week? http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/02/01/photo-challenge-unique/
