white to black gradations
corrugate lines that
gather at a central fertile nub
an amphitheater where
droplets converge to
witness light’s slow miracles

delightful, right? You made me think of the movie Ferngully. It’s like Avatar, only a cartoon, and it came first. 🙂

We all look to the centre, it’s a strange phenomenon lol, it’s a balloon though isn’t it?

I found the photo on his website, and it’s called “palm leaf abstract in black and white.” It is interesting that the center draws us.

Intentional use of personification…I didn’t know what else to do with it than make it tell me why it was there.

Great transformation of nub into amphitheater to provide a stage for the strem water droplets. Very creative and well stated. Claudia says “beautiful and dreamy.” I agree.

Thanks. Much like a stage, the nub draws our eye. The nub…what’s that about? ha!

Thank you, I like it too. It did take some playing with, but when I tried to decide what the droplets gathered to witness, it fell into place. It’s kind of a dreamy morning here, birds are singing, the sun is playing about.
