Overnight, very
Whitely, discreetly,
Very quietly
Our toes, our noses
Take hold on the loam,
Acquire the air.
Nobody sees us,
Stops us, betrays us;
The small grains make room.

Sylvia loves me
Overnight, very
Whitely, discreetly,
Very quietly
Our toes, our noses
Take hold on the loam,
Acquire the air.
Nobody sees us,
Stops us, betrays us;
The small grains make room.

Yes, it is odd how they just appear overnight, isn't it? Great shot -- very moody lighting! And I love the poem. :)
Hey, I just got up and read this. I took it during magic hour, you know that hour before the sun goes down and everything is just golden? When I opened it up in Photoshop, I noticed how moody and dark it looked. Hence the Sylvia Plath. She sometimes had those tendencies, didn't she?
I think if you look up "dark and moody" in the dictionary, there is a picture of Sylvia Path, right?
Great shot! Am I being petty if your photo blog is breaking my heart this week? ;)
Mornin, Dlyn. Not at all. I think of you and not having your camera whenever I take a pic. I'm so sorry.
I love this one. Simple. Cute.
I have grown attached to checking your site. I really love your photography and your wit!
Wanna help me decide what dress to wear?
