what you need to know about the past
is that no matter what has happened,
it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment.
and this is the moment you can choose to make everything new.
right now.
each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book
known to him by heart and his friends can only read the title
the photos.
are of november past.
november today.
is one of frost and fog.
while the frost and fog.
is beautiful.
there is no sun for shadows.
isn't it wonderful.
that we can draw on the past.
through our photos.
for that.
one still frame.
in time.
what does your day look like?
just BE.

a very autumnal sequence - lovely garden shots...
ReplyDeleteI so like #1 and #3
ReplyDeleteNumber #1 is sooo quaint. My fav.
Great photos.
I happily refer to archives for shadows - the digital world of the past is full of artistry we hadn't considered before but love to discover again...the shed and implements may be old but in shadow it is as fresh as the cool autumn day...
ReplyDeleteI love your words as well as your beautiful shadow shots, Robin!! You are artistically talented as well as wise! Thank you for sharing both!! Hope you enjoy a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is wonderful that we can draw from the past! Love the ones you picked out for us today. It was really foggy here this morning when I took my daughter to basketball practice..."now why didn't this fog happen yesterday morning so we could have a delay" is what I heard ~ lol!!
ReplyDeleteNumber 2 makes me think 'you nailed it' as far as photographing goes!
ReplyDeleteThe last photo of the leaves silhouetted against the sun really speaks to me, Robin.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful.
Hope you are enjoying the weekend.
The soft falls of Autumn light and shadows in the first photo are gorgeous! Such a quiet, thoughtful scene! And then the lighting in the macros is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteRobin - thank you for those lovely words and pictures.
ReplyDeleteAh! Blissful heaven, these images are to me! Drawing me in, inviting me to just. be. still.
ReplyDeleteHello Robin girl!
ReplyDeletePast or present you always have beautiful pictures to show us!
We have had amazing weather lately and I finally got out in the garden to clean up .. had lots of help from the boys too. Husband loves to play with new toys (aka leaf vacuum/mulcher) .. me ? I just loved looking at all the pretty leaves as I swept them up : )
Hope all is well with you and not just getting by girl ? .. some day things have to be a lot better!LOL
Joy : )
love the pics come see what I shared at http://shopannies.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteLove those photos - so artistic! Your words speak are lovely as well!
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I have never found so much stillness and beauty in November like I have this year. Our own weather finally turned here, giving plenty of light. Love the still and dormant feeling of your photo sequence here.
ReplyDeleteAnd the sameness of each passing season, year after year is a comfort isn't it?
Cheers,
Leah
Love your first shot!

Have a lovely weekend. Come and drop me a line or two when you get a chance.
Love the photos. Each one is a beautiful shot. I think my favorite is the last one. Love the sun in the background and how the leaves are in shadow, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'd missed the Fall season as I was in The Philippines for a month.
