This day in my blogging history
2014: Two, by Dane Zajc. An amazing poem in my translation:
The ice of her body melts underneath his hands. The autumn of fruit is awakened beneath his fingers. The autumn of her body. (Read on.)

Thank you, Mary. Always a wonderful sight. But we only have red ones over here, while you have orange. I have never seen an orange poppy!

Thank you, Not Pam! Yes, the challenge is open now. Here is Dan’s challenge page with all the doors that serve as an inspiration:

Since you wrote your story to my door already, you can simply leave the link in a comment there. But you can also write a new story to any of the other door photos, if you feel inspired. I don’t think there are limitations.

Ah, the poppies are starting to look really gorgeous! And the figure really makes the shot (and is pretty close to being on the thirds grid 😆 )

I’m enchanted by the figure in the field of poppies, with their head turned just so. Magical!

Thank you, Carol Ann. I took many photos in this field and for some reason this one stood out. It might be the turn of the head. 🙂

I think that’s exactly right: the turn of the head. There’s something metaphorical there too….

Gorgeous photos, love the one with the lone sailboat in particular, and enjoyed your quotes too. Sometimes your posts have a holistic effect on me and this one sure did 🙂
