Autumn mood

For Shadow Shot Sunday:


child's fingers
trace on grandma's hands
the liver spots of aging

Perfection in one shot and few words!
I have a soft spot (soon it will be liver spots ? LOL) for an Autumn coloured leaf .. that was beautiful !
Joy : )

Perfection is the word and beauty is the picture with the perfect words. Exquisite capture! Hope you're enjoying a lovely weekend, Diane!

Your haiku is inspiring and so well crafted, melding perfect with the photo. Well done.

Diane AZ said...

Joan, so glad you like the haiku! I'm not the poet, it's from Jane Reichhold's Aha Poetry website.

Barb said...

The photo illustrates the haiku brilliantly!

Ralph said...

I suppose that I haven’t considered foliage in the desert of Pima County. Yet here is one, its golden hue sitting on a shapely leaf. The shadow that results is wonderful and so nicely detailed...

Lindy said...

Might that be an aspen leaf? The beautiful gold of autumn.

Diane AZ said...

Hi Lindy, although it does look like an aspen leaf, it's from a cottonwood tree.

Age spots are proof you are real, Diane. There is nothing more beautiful than the age-worn hand of someone you love. :)
