I looked up and saw a lovely pink flower reaching for the sky
and a robin conversing with a tree
at my feet a puddle playing with stones
and a little closer a wooly bear caterpillar nibbling!
I came to a river
and crossed a bridge.
This is more than a simple image-guided poem; it reflects a time in life, a place we come to for change and balance. What does this post reflect or provoke in you? Where did the walk take you? Thanks to Poetry Thursday for their inspiration. This week's prompt is "Our favorite day of the week".
My favorite day of the week is any day I take a walk in nature.

lovely
a lazy afternoon stroll.....beautiful!
I liked the attention to nature's details in this visual poem ... beautiful & lovely way to start the day! Merci, JP
I loved this journey with your photos. Visual poetry.
I LOVE taking walks in nature and my photo album is filled with them.
Lovely post my friend! It took me back into the woods, where I can more easily realize that I am the Tao.
This is so cool, what a great idea. I love the woolly bear, they are the best. :)
I note you ended on a bridge?
Thanks to all of you for joining me on this walk and taking time to comment!
Dan- the Tao is everywhere ;)
Brian, well, actually I ended up back in my office ;-) I did encounter a bridge, but, it is a metaphor for a place in my life right now, where I am about to cross over to and let the past go, moving forward...
enjoyed sharing your walk.
i find walking in the nature relaxes me and charges my batteries...
Hello & Tirow!
I like your blog. Thanks for stopping by mine. I'll link to you.

Cool. This took me out of my flat and I actually had a breather. LOL. Very nice.
Thanks for taking me on your walk, it has been years :)
Wonderfull, wonderfull!!!
Congrats.
I link you in the collage, ok?
Oh, the woolly bear- that so reminds me of home... thank you for this lovely journey...
I like that the robin converses with the tree and the puddle plays with stones. That happens in my world, too. Great mix of images and words.
What a beautiful walk! I'm not a flower-person, but that is a fascinating flower. Whereabouts do you live?
aah i really love this. my mind works along the same lines as the words you used...the flower reaching for the sky, the stones playing in the puddle (that was my favourite bit). it made me so happy i felt a little sad too?
American robins do not look like European ones (I believe you saw a picture on my blog once of a robin on a tree. I presume you heard this bird before you saw and caught its portrait)
I don't like to be near a caterpillar at all especially when it has so much hair I know it will be a beautiful butterfly however what cabn I do against that disgust ?
I aggree with your conclusion, I'll add that I find every day nice because every day it's possible to find something nice to do

Thanks for sharing your walk and now I'll go over the bridge and into the woods to find spring flowers and shade. I love the wooly caterpillar!
I love the reflective nature of your photos and poems. This also works for the prompt from ODB this week.
polona- I can tell by your haiku.
cnmi- any time.
reth- cool, it's good for the heart, walking and laughing ;)
tammy- so happy to bring you outdoors :-]
mauricio- sure, thanks a bunch, it's an honor!
regina- a walk down memory lane.
pauline- kindred spirits.
josy- it's a wild flower of some sort, sorry I can't name it. These were taken on the "Eastside" a burb of Seattle.
pod- fun! that was my fav too. Yes, some sadness moving toward happiness...
cergie- I love your tidbits about your land. I always learn from you ;) You share your nature walks often.
crafty- nice of you to join me ;p
jone- thanks, I'll have to check out ODB...
Have a great weekend!
Sequential photos are always nice. I was watching robins today in Central Park! Liked the caterpillar, too -- wonder what he'll become when he pupates?
great lines...very evocative...
feel inspired to do a couple of drawings around this theme... :-)
Gawd, I just love your camera's window. I just purchased me a camera this weekend and I'm hoping to share some great views of life as you have.
thanks for the visit
love the mix of words and pics on your blog
thanks for giving me the chance to see it
