Leanin' on the Lamp Post



From Street Scene




I'm leaning on the lamp post at
the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady comes by
Oh me, oh my
In case a certain little lady comes by

Oh, she's wonderful, she's marvelous
She's fabulous, she's beautiful
And anyone can understand why
I'm leaning on the lamp post at
the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady comes by

A Spectacular Spectacle!



"2009 Cherry Blossom Festival"

The Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington DC was everything it was billed as, and more! The beautiful, deep blue sky made for a magnificent background for these willowy pink and white buds.

The photography club went down for a day trip Saturday, along with a few million others, and we were not disappointed. In fact, we were surprised by the kindness extended by fellow strangers. We befriended a couple young women who walked with us for a good bit of the afternoon. Others were generous with directions and pleasantries. Although it was super-crowded, the mood was one of awe in God's splendor.

A Bloomin' Good Time

"Dizzying Daffodils"
Odessa, Delaware
1/125 sec at f/6.3 ISO 100

"Daffodils" 

I wander'd lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretch'd in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:

I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

circa 1804 by 
William Wordsworth (1770-1850)
