Longing

Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona


Weary twilight shades
long for grass in which to lie,
not tangled branches.

    The tree is the biggest target for the sun to shine – yet, the grasses are worthy of the sun and leave slender shadows while the massive (in comparison) has shadow to spare. Nicely captured!

    Wonderful haiku…worthy of the stunning desert landscape, which you seem to love to share in your writing and photos.

    I think the twilight would be envious of the glorious morning sun, when the green grass seems to thrive and look more lush than ever 🙂

    Another earthy tones that I love.

    A great shot for the w/end although for me it’s a bit sad that the trees and grass are dying. Are they?

    Have a great SSS week-end.

    You really nailed this one. The light, the composition, title, poetry – all one perfect whole.

    I love the weary twilight shades. I’m with them. The tangled branches are lovely to look at, but not very inviting.

    Nature beckons, to each their own favourite spot and time of day. Fabulous!

    Did you see the movie “Wild Thing” based on the Maurice Sendak story? That’s what this scene reminds me of. A scene from the “Wild Thing” (or, Where the wild things are).

    shades like softness–ok–Shades as ghosts too? or just shades as where the sun does not show?

    The shadows are hard to find among the warm slant of sun.
