First comment again! I like doing that.
All those mutes. Isn't it odd that so many prefer to plant their flag right on their own porch instead of on some more remote patch of terra incognita?

You're my hero this week! Three "it hurts my eyes" comments is a new record I think, and there are a couple more that could have been thus. Could be worse of course; you might have taken that abomination that won the blue ribbon (speaking of "hurts my eyes"). But look on the bright side ... at least now you know that your photograph is out of focus! You sure won't make that rookie mistake again.

What is this schist?

Tree in field

Ohhhhhh! It's beautiful Deb. How the clouds echo the shapes of the trees. Or the trees the clouds. And the heads of grain, all crowding and jostling for a view of the passing cloud parade. And the light touch with the LB (I never could manage that level of restraint myself!)

Another one of your quiet masterpieces. And they are the best kind, of course. The durable kind.

Thank you.

a note, a cry
a wish, a fear

a leap of faith,
another year

an empty place
a breath, a tear

wish I was gone,
wish she was here

Comment:
A lovely, heroic vision. Something in the nature of a Revelation, in fact. There's a shadow of a corporeal form, and a column of some transcendent vitality being liberated from its core. The classical admixture of God and mortal man, reality and myth. It's a quite beautiful vision, and repays with interest every moment spent in its contemplation.

A worthy ultimate recipient of the Order of the Thumb:

It's so beautifully tantalising, as if the entire photograph is a reluctant gesture. It might be this, it might be that. It's quiet, and cautious, and resigned. And so it is sad and sweet at once. A moving hint of something gone.

Ballad
by RKT

Comment:
When I first looked upon this I thought you were wrong. I thought it was an ode. But you're right after all; it's a ballad. Simple, folksy, and beautifully musical. Nice composition too; panels of light and dark; love and loss; optimism and despair. The nails in the wall suggest something sad took place here, like a quiet, slow crucifixion.

Best portrait by a mile. Perfect composition and (if applicable) crop. DFF Award (Damn fine foto).
