teacher soon waves goodbye to a year . hello to june
life's song punctuated by beginning and end
as I happen upon this bloom of cream
among the vast motion of wildflower and weed
a nod to the thorns along with softness
the contrasts of shapes and hue
hidden among the growth surrounding it
while also capturing the sun rays
to fully bloom

Hey Elk, the sharpness yet softness of these images just blow me away! and always, your words.

so poetic!
must feel good to have the summer free.
just a couple weeks behind you, friend. enjoy long, restful summer days. :)
"a nod to the thorns along with softness"
yes, we are given beauty to soften the thorn's sharp sting...
I always love to come here and wander amid the beauty of your words and images...
Enjoy your summer! :)
Beautiful. Prickles and all.
isn't that the way it has – in severity is great beauty. And those are the little kind of prickles that prick your fingers in bunches right? ouch! That poetry – graceful. The pictures – beautiful. Thank you. God bless and keep you and all of yours.
Welcome to your summer!
There is such softness behind the prickles.
lovely light and beauty mixed with the prickles ...
Beautiful words and so poetic. Great photos!
Elk, I enjoy seeing the beauty in your part of the country! So different than my backyard :) I hope that you have a wonderful summer! My sister is a teacher also and I know how relieved she is this time of year - ready to kick back and relax.

I heart your posts so much.
I imagine you are very missed and very much loved at school.
Hello, my friend. I haven't been around the blog block in ages what with the end of the school year craziness. I wanted to stop by and tell you how much I've missed you and this inspiring place you have created here. It's good to be back.
The lighting is so great on all these, I especially love #2.
ahh, summer... and lovely photos!
