You who were given a life

The recriminations swarm around sunset
When it was otherwise quiet all the way around
You who were given a life, what did you make of it?
— Forrest Gander

I love this piece of poetry so much. It's so human... the tendency to argue about senseless things while life passes us by. I suspect this photo is too passive for the quote, especially the line I chose to use, but c'est la vie, though I do like the open feeling of both the question and the photo.

This was the first photo I took for last week's Sinful Sunday prompt of "White." It didn't seem quite right so I went with a different one last week. But I love the mix of patterns here. . 

This february photo fest has reignited my love for my photo project but also reminded me how much work it is to take pictures, do all the editing and post every day. I'm trying to think just far enough in the week that I'm prepared for any days I'm really busy but not too far that I can't act spontaneously. I want to actively participate and see what each day brings me.

So thanks Molly, as always, for a chance to participate in Sinful Sunday and this February Photofest particularly. I've pushed myself artistically in ways I never would otherwise. And getting to see everyone else's work every work spurs me onward, so thanks to all you bloggers and photographers out there too.

Speaking of things that inspire, it's the first week of the Smut Marathon and I've decided to participate again. It's an intriguing prompt this week, difficult I thought, with very mixed results, But swing by the opening round, see what you think and then vote.

have a good week everyone XOX
