I have used a lot of different cameras ( although not at present ). I was doing photography at the local cemetery. 2 young women pull up near a gravesite & get out, wearing lingerie. I didn't know whether to go to them & ask if I could photograph them or what. No idea why they were there, dressed like models, no less. I TRIED to photograph them without their knowledge & got 2 pinkish BLURS in the background for my effort.
As someone through whom poetry gets written and who loves taking pictures and puts them together, thank you for the purely visual poems.
The last one is a wish of mine for a memorial. There’s a water park I go to with my dog near me. One of the few wetlands in Colorado, high desert semi arid climate, in the San Juan mountains. It’s considered part of Ute tribal lands which is where we actually live. There are several benches there with people’s names memorializing their memory there. There’s a disabled friendly pathway leading out to a point that is sometimes surrounded by water from the lake. I’ve wanted to put one out at the point that’s circular -- so there’s not only the 360° view of the surrounding beauty but also where people can sit in sacred circles. Thanks for showing a photo of one such bench.
Photo # 5 looks like an annular solar eclipse. I dabble in astronomy, so my mind just flashed to that.....
It's weird thing that Polaroid / Fuji instant film seems to do when you point it right at the sun at sunset - kind of burns a hole in the image !

Once again thank you.
My favs (difficult to seperate from the rest) are 4, 5, 7 and 12...
Love the lighting and the pure simplicity of 12, the stairs.
I always smile when I see a new post of yours!
