Erie Images


Caution – lots of photos in this post! All of the images are from our trip to Lake Erie this past weekend.

 


 I don't do drugs.



But I could fly away


on a cloud of chocolate
or marshmallow


and caramel.
Or maybe a pepperoni pizza



with mushrooms
and banana peppers



I could fly away.

 

Or I could stay


tied to the earth,

rooted and tranquil –

sated with tomatoes

and sweet corn


or Gala apples


and Braeburns.

Or Clementines


I can be a bird
on the wing

with no clear


flight plan


Or I can take that
other, wooded and


furrowed path
that leads me
to you.

  1. Dear The Bug,
    Oh, oh, oh! How lovely indeed. And how loving. Thanks for a glimpse into the Erie landscape and the emotional landscape. The words and photos both convey so much--skill and content.

    Sincerely,
    Ann T.

  3. Terrific post! I love the expressive words and all the images -- especially the frog and the red wing blackbird. I've never been to Lake Erie, though I've spent some time on Lake Huron.

  9. How precious! All of it! And I love that you ended with a picture of Dr. M. Most excellent. Especially the references to chocolate, marshmallow and pepperoni pizza (I'll have mine without the additions of mushrooms and banana peppers). Grin!

  12. for some reason I was reminded of Jonathan Livingston Seagull and how the pictures made me want to fly away - but you took it one step further into the quiet meadowland

    Beautiful looked like a nice trip

    thanks for stopping at One Shot Wednesday - it has been a fun day

  13. What fantastic pictures, you make me wish I could fly...and have some pizza because now I'm hungry.

    Plus, the end made me say, "Awwwwww!" so I forgive you for the hunger pains.

  19. Lovely! I have no desire to fly (scared of heights), but you almost make me wish I could. All good things, but the wooded path is always the most interesting, isn't it?

  20. Loved the images AND the words were so tasty and evocative. Now I want to be "sated with tomatoes" and I've got none in the house!

  21. Oh, Bug, this is gorgeously done! Gentle and buccolic, and then such a wallop at the end of that furrowed path. Hooray for you!

  22. Dana, what a tremendously gorgeous post. The images really made me sore. Especially the hollyhock, lit as if from within, and the gull reflecting a soft setting sun. Wow. Just supreme.

  23. I love this glorious mix of words with pictures of a beautiful countryside. It has such a special ending.

I woke up not feeling well and skipped church (for the second week in a row - oops), but that doesn’t keep me from being deep in the throes ...
