I stumbled upon a blog that I wanted to give attention to: Kelli Russel Agodon's - Book of Kells. Her March 20th post announces a Big Poetry Giveaway which begins Thursday, March 24 - guidelines will be given as to HOW to participate - either via giving away one's own books or chapbooks - or two of their favorite poetry books. Of course, one can just sign up to enter to win the drawings! Last year, 50 bloggers participated, giving way 100+ books plus a few subscriptions to literary journals. How FUN is this?

Also, the last photo is for "Creative Exchange". At Lisa's blog today, she is participating in "1000 Cranes for Japan". The flicker site which I have highlighted, is beautiful to look at. I think my daughters might like to do this as they are good with this sort of thing... my origami only inspires a free throw to the garbage can! These two last photos a part of my "365 Photorgarphic Journey" - I'm half way through!
Racing alongside spring's first breeze
a moment of abandonment, enjoyed,
as only a child knows how.

I must check out Kell's giveaway! Thanks for the heads up. (I'll keep you son in mind, if, and when, I ever tire of the hat.) :^)

Hi, Margaret!
ReplyDeleteI think I lost my comments!
I love the dog and the bee pictures.
I will be making the crane.
Love your friends photo of the statue with the vine growing on it.....superb.
ReplyDeleteI love that last photo - such fun! Your friend's photos from South America are beautiful - I can see why they inspire you to paint!
ReplyDeletethose pictures are truly beautiful margaret. loved the haiku. childhood is really beautiful.

ReplyDeleteShort and sweet!
Tess - I thought of you right away, you with your new chapbook!
ReplyDeleteLisa - Not a perfect photo, but happy indeed! :) Kell's giveaway sounds so fun!
Lui - Yes, you would love a good dog photo - I really enjoy your snapshots of your faithful companion!
Carol - You are free to draw and paint it if you like... I'm going to be giving it a wirl soon. I'm rearranging my art room first, though.
Pat - Yes, when I see photos like this, I wish I could travel the world!
Trisha - It is truly a gift to the adult when one spends time with a child. Just go for a walk and they will open one's eyes to things otherwise unseen.
G-Man - :) Thank you! I am reminded everyday to LOOK closer at things with my little guy around. My oldest son (when he is home) sleeps in 'till 1:00pm or so... but there was once a time he was like this too.
lovely shots..
ReplyDeleteshort is cute.
Such a wonderful post again! I never know where to begin to tell you how much I love everything!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Origami inspiring a free throw to the garbage can is my line as well! So I'm with you on this one. Love the photo of the *puppy* and little boy...and the prose is perfect.
ReplyDeleteJingle, Rosie - :) Just documenting the kids and animals. Can't imagine what I would do without them. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLisa F - :) I really did try origami once. Everyone laughed at it. Thank you.
