Hey, I got a message from Jaye today. I sent her one back saying hi to her from you. She just said she’s enjoying her time there and that a friend sent some of her stories to an agent and the agent is interested in one of her stories. Good news!
Hugs,
Gayle xoxo

/ September 29, 2011I love this picture and the words you wrote to animate it. This is my kind of imagery–shadows, darkness, gentleness of the bright sun’s absence.
Magic!

/ September 30, 2011I love to sit by our pond and watch the heron. It is almost as though he watches over the area for us, standing there so still. He also always makes me feel weightless when he “slowly” spreads those wings and lifts himself upward. I like this.

I’ve only seen one other person’s template that is like mine–and now there is yours too–cool. I recently went looking at other themes to see if I should switch but I didn’t really see anything I liked better. 🙂

/ October 7, 2011Yes I think you have “captured” the essence of the haiku juxtaposing the twilight hour and its stillness with the stillness of the big bird. They are quite regal, I think. We have many here. They seem to measure people as they approach. Thank you for linking today.
