The one of the things that I love most about photography is that it grounds me in the moment and gives me pause …. In that space, there is a possibility to see the world and see it different: in this case, the earth itself. I don’t think I’m particularly remarkable because I took a…
A Force of Nature
I erupt with strength through hard ground Through sidewalks and walls I abound I dirty knees and nails that try to resist Innocent, I yellow cheeks with a lemon kiss Fill the sky with chutes of gossamer Spread my seeds and choke life everywhere But I am sunshine painted on petal’s hue Each one a…
Love Takes Flight
Spread open, I love with all my heart Vulnerable to the fall below Your love, wings to carry me above. All text and images © Dale Schierbeck See more of others’ submissions to the Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge on “Motion.”
Emotion in Motion ~ Ben’s 19th Birthday
It’s a day I’ve seen sneaking up in my calendar for a month. Days even weeks went by when I didn’t notice it until, again, this week, I was reminded that this Saturday would be April 25th … a day that would have marked Ben’s 19th birthday. This would be the first birthday where Ben…
