These decaying leaves are captured forever in a pool of cold, still water. I have a feeling the pool is deep, and the leaves are deep. Often while photographing, I'll suddenly break out in tune, or sometimes break out in 'hum'... with my wide assortment of eclectic tastes. Mom always said I hummed when I was the most happy, often eating! hahaha! Strange!? Sometimes it's obvious; at other times there is no seeming reason. I'll often say to myself,"Now, where did that come from?" When I saw this pool of water and the decay, this Byrds' (one of my all time favorite bands)song popped in my head.Turn, Turn, Turn
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to build up,a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late
What a great shot!
ReplyDeleteI like the different colors...
Such a tender, moving post today, Birdman. I love the boys who humm while they eat. I don't think there can be a higher compliment to the cook.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite songs.
ReplyDeleteAfter yesterday's beautiful and vibrant colored tulips to today's death and decay certainly covers just about everything.
ReplyDeleteI hummed a lot when I was a child, even while I ate. My Mom called it the Hum of Contentment. Haha! The Byrd's song goes perfectly with your picture.
ReplyDeleteSunny :)
Perfect song for the photo. I love the little splashes of color in the photo among the dead leaves.
ReplyDeleteI am partial to The Byrds, too. HOwever, in my head. I made the tragic mistake of buying one of those el-cheapo compilations ... and the arrangements and production values ... umm ... how to put this politely ...
ReplyDeleteSo, they remain in a pond of their own ... in my head.
