Placid
Horsetooth Reservoir, Fort Collins, Colorado
this dark autumn night
the bright stars of Milky Way
cries of geese above*
in placid mountain waters
seven fathoms deep the song

I just moved to a much drier climate and I can see the STARS again. I’m loving it. Thanks for saying it.
Sigh. Glorious.
Wonderful photo and great line ~ ‘seven fathoms deep the song’ ~ carol, xxx
gorgeous shot. The song amidst the pines – perfect
Seven fathoms deep… nice. Really good setting.
lovely work.
Seven fathoms…six weeks on a boat…we both finished in water. I like your added sense of sound in a specific song.
A song of mystery, yet not so deep that you can’t fathom it my friend 😉
This Dark Autumn Night
luv your shift to the mountains
much love…
It was a necessary shift! 😉 Thanks for stopping by!
Beautiful photo. Have you moved from the desert?
Did a quick weekend visit to see a friend in Colorado. Still very much in the desert!
A nice hint of mystery. Whose song?
Whose song? Ah, that’s the mystery!
A nice completion MMT … and that photo … awesome.
Enigmatic always make my day,
a deep water melody
counterpoint to the goose song
Cheers!
