my work is
making music with the future
singing every day with small children
simple melodies flow from wood and string
my heart is full as they share their joyful spirits
the rest of me at days end? weary would describe it!

You so capture the beauty of musical instruments as well as the music itself, I'm sure.

(I really do like your photos with the guitar, I'm sure I keep telling you!)

Now that is work with lasting value! Lovely photos too.

Ah yes - weary. I know it well. Shared these photos with my daughter away at college - she is teaching herself guitar, in her spare time. :-). Thanks for the opportunity to share with her. She is missed.
what a gift you give
bringing music to the world ... a most valuable gift
You certainly have a joyful job...but I am sure it is exhausting...I volunteered at a pre-school two days a month when my children were small and it took me the rest of the month to restore myself:)
Beautiful -- my favorite is the first. What a wonderful job to make music.
I love the perspective you chose to shoot from, Mom. Focusing on the straight lines of the neck and strings = nifty! Laura
I agree with your daughter-its always your perpective which is so individual and unique that makes your photos so special-Lovely-

Love. Caring. Touching the future. And yes, it plays well in black and white, too.
I love the first one...briliant!
Ooowww ELK I almost can touch the guitar. Great shots, wonderful poem.
oh i wish i could play anything.
Wow, I love that. I can't play any sort of music at all. I DO love photographing guitars, though. :)
music and children, doesn't get any better! and yes ... the weariness after a day.
as always, loved following the images and the words.
in my heart, i can hear the songs. the beautiful songs.
Weary. Good word for it!
gorgeous warmth - inviting
i would love to hear you play
Beautiful DOF Elk!
I wish I could play
the guitar. Or even
the ukulele. My fingers
are too short. :O(
Love these photos!
These photos are beautiful! You must bring such joy into your students' lives. xo
these images take my breath away... so very lovely!
thank you... thank you for your work... thank you for caring so much... thank you for your kindness... and thank you for your music, in whatever of its many forms it takes when it flows through you :)
Awesome photos especially that first one. Love your poem too.
Ah yes...weary at the end of the day. While teaching music is fun, joyful, exhilarating, rewarding, etc., it is also exhausting. A lot of energy goes into sharing the love of music and motivating the wee ones to join in.
I especially like the perspective and DOF in the first image.
i always adore your guitar shots!!! wishing you all that is beautifully moving
lucky kids !
Awesome perspective - both the photos and the words!!!
Beautiful details and the light you captured on these wonderful photos!
Oh, so beautifully written and I love the beautiful warm wood and the cool strings. Looking at these photos I can smell my guitar I played when I was a teen, and feel the coolness of the strings on my fingers. Thanks for taking me back for a few moments!
I love photos of guitars. These are beautiful!
I love love guitar pictures!
i didn't know this! do you teach music??

Anything you pour your heart into is bound to leave you a bit weary at the end of the day but what a gift to do heartwork! And a musical gift... extra special :)
Excellent work - love your accompanying words.
lovely work, indeed.
i can just imagine
if i just stay quiet and listen
the strums of your guitar strings.
bliss.

What a beautiful perspective!
Oh, missed this one. Love the perspective, the warmth of the wood. And the love coming through.
my heart strings are humming with this profound piece.
Oh, Elk! This post makes my day sing!
