April 9: National Poetry Month

Lavender lingers

long after a sunny day

amid purple rows.

Weekly photo challenge: Contrasts

This probably isn’t a good photo because you can’t see the contrast. But just imagine me — a middle-aged woman in capris, a turquoise shirt and flip-flops — excusing my way through this group of models. My daughter and I were playing tourist in the Hamptons on Long Island last weekend, and we walked into this little dress shop overflowing with models, photographers and lots of white wine and red lipstick. We knew we didn’t fit in, but no one told us to leave. I think they actually looked right through us — at least me.

Anyway, it was quite surreal, and, trust me, a great study in “contrasts.”

Weekly photo challenge: Greeeeeennn!
