When I am walking with Trees
Painting by Pierre AJ Sabourin En Plein Air Landscape Artists
Thank you Pierre for use of your painting. It inspired this poem
When I’m walking with Trees
A forgotten path beckons
Through an ancient forest
Covered in lichen and moss
When I’m walking with trees
My body is relaxing
My energy is flowing
My soul becomes of the forest
As I listen, to the forest sounds
The air is calm
The morning sunlight filtering
On the forest floor dancing
When I’m walking with trees
When I’m walking with trees
My body is relaxing
My energy is flowing
The path twists and turns
Over time worn rock
I have this feeling
Being watched from above
A light appears ahead
As closer I walk
The light it intensifies
Then before my eyes, fading
I hear a song
As I walk along
It is the trees whispering
A hush voice singing
A gentle caress upon my cheek
It is the morning breeze
Cool and fresh, a lover’s touch
When I’m walking with trees
When I’m walking with trees
My body is relaxing
My energy is flowing
The trees appear to nod
As I pass by
The air is clear
The sounds I hear
The brush of a branch
Gently upon my shoulder
It has been awhile
For now I smile

Pitaya
The evening was late. The last of the sunlight fading away. A spot of light caught the tip of the cactus, Pitaya’s emerging flower.
The Pitaya is a very large crawling type of cactus. The flower very large. The fruit makes an excellent drink.

Join Me And The Lord
Join Me And The Lord
The day has been long
But I made a song
Just walk a little closer
Join me and the Lord
The shadows upon the walls
The church bells are ringing
You can hear him calling
Join me and the Lord
Just walk a little closer
Join me and the Lord
Hallelujah,Hallelujah
Just walk a little closer
To me, my darling
I’ll sing you my song
As we walk along
Just walk a little closer
Join me and the Lord
Hallelujah,Hallelujah
The church bells are ringing
You can hear him calling
Just walk a little closer
Join me and the Lord
Gory Hallelujah,Hallelujah
Hallelujah,Hallelujah
The day has been long
But I made a song
Just walk a little closer
Join me and the Lord
Gory Hallelujah,Hallelujah
Hallelujah,Hallelujah

When I First Saw You
When I First Saw You
When I first saw you
That smile
Just broke my heart
It was off the chart
You called my name
You gave me your heart
I gave you my soul
You are my sweetheart
Yes my darling
You are my love
We are forever and more
Sealed with a kiss
A kiss of love
Yes darling
You are my love
My forever love
You prayed for me
To be delivered to you
You waited four years long
Then I came along
You can rest your fears
Wash away your tears
You are in my arms
You will come to no harm
Yes darling
You are my love
My forever love
You need not pretend
Not pretend, anymore
I am holding you
Our hearts will blend
You will never walk alone
So baby, don’t cry
Just look up at the sky
Then say thank you
When I first saw you
That smile
Just broke my heart
It was off the chart
You will never walk alone
So baby, don’t cry
Just look up at the sky
Then say thank you

The info taken from Wikipedia
One day I had the opportunity to photograph this little baby waiting for a parent to feed it in my garden. I was able to set up the camera and tripod within five feet of my little subject. The hummingbirds are use to me being around them. I used my 200 mm lens.
The lighting was good. I was able to achieve a high shutter speed for good stop action. It was a delightful six hours of observing and capturing the hummingbird doing its thing

Hey, Come on Honey
It’s Saturday night
The clock strikes eight
I got a pocket full of money
I’ll call my honey
Going down to the bar
It’s not too far
I got a pocket full of money
I am walking my honey
I’ll take her hand
Oh, I feel so grand
I can hear the music
I hear them blues
The band strikes up
It is the blues, so slow
Hey, come on babe
We dance, oh so close
We’ll sway our hips
We will touch our lips
We move our feet
I feel the heat
Oh, that feels so good
Just gives me the mood
That slow,slow blues
As the band plays on
Ah yeah, love you babe
You and the blues
That is the way
It should be
The clock strikes four
It is late, the hour
I will walk you home
Oh what a blues night
Hey. come on honey
It’s Saturday night
The clock strikes eight
I got a pocket full of money
I’ll call my honey
Going down to the bar
It’s not too far
I got a pocket full of money
I am walking my honey

Mica Bay, Lake Superior
Mica Bay, Lake Superior. This was one of my enjoyable evenings spent exploring the shoreline of Mica Bay, Lake Superior.
The evening was becoming late as I observed this scene. The lake was rolling gently. The exposure would be long. That would create a dreamy affect on the water. More so in the foreground. I cast around for a suitable collection of rocks at the water’s edge. The composition soon came together in my mind. I set my tripod as low as I could set it. Therefore, allowing me to create an illusion of less water. To tighten the composition I shot vertically. Too much water would spoil the effect of the composition.
I stretched out on the beach. Being eye level showed me my composition as I wanted it. Thus I was able to create my scene.

Tomorrow Never Came
Tomorrow Never Came
The time has past
My hair is silver now
Tomorrow never came
Our love has gone
My thoughts always turned to you
We never got to say I do
You were the shadow of my life
No matter where I went
But your memory will always
Will always,be cherished
But it is sad
What we really had
If only we knew
Just you and me
I still can’t believe it
After all these years
My hair is silver now
Tomorrow never came
So hello, wherever you are
My love was forever
You were always my lover
Through good and bad times
My thoughts always turned to you
We never got to say I do
You were the shadow of my life
No matter where I went
The time has past
My hair is silver now
Tomorrow never came
Our love was lost
My hair is silver now
Tomorrow never came
Our love has gone
