When you trim a photo
you may notice exhalations in the skies
and the embrace of trees
Dark islands may emerge
from shallow seas of dense fog
in the ring of fire
When you crop photos
you may notice red, yellow, and green layers about to fall
or a rainbow of colors about to rise
When you trim a photo
you may notice soft curving lines
on a feline’s fur
Rigid radiating lines may emerge
Brushed with pale whispers
of an owl’s wisdom

Beautiful set of images, that first one, the colours are absolutely incredible!
Thank you, Pamela!
Great job, Siobhan! It's hard to pick only one favorite here. I loved the cat, plane, and balloon crops, especially.
Thanks, Egidio! I'm glad you especially liked those three. 😁
Words and photos are perfect Siobhan
Thanks, Brian! 😁
The sky photos hooked me up 🙂
Thanks, Hammad! I thought you might notice those.
Great photos, Siobhan! I as a cat person have say the cat, I also like the plane and old beams, also the balloons stood out.
Thanks, Ritva! My cat, a Pixie Bob, has markings a lot like that bobcat in the photo. Glad you liked many of the photos I shared this week. 😁 Sorry, I didn't get to your comment faster. I screen them before posting.
All beautiful 😍 🤩 👌
Thank you! :D
Beautiful cat, yes he does look a bit like an owl.
Yes, that bobcat is a beauty!
Loved your approach on this one Siobhan Glad you mentioned that it's your cat, not a bobcat and I too thought that was what it was! Wonderful choices.
Thanks, Tina! The picture on this post is a bobcat at the High Desert Museum. My cat, a Pixie Bob, is bred to look like a bobcat. There's a good photo of her on my February 4 Wordless Wednesday post. Sorry for the confusion. 🙂
Oops! Thanks Siobhan
Excellent post, Siobhan. The cat wins it for me, that is a clever crop there.
Thanks, Sofia! I took a lot of pictures of that bobcat. 🙂
