I
photograph the open-mouthed tulips roaring “Look at me!” so loudly the black-iron
gate cannot contain them—AH—this time it’s spring in Albany I see.
Crossing the cobblestones to Ritz 5, I resist photographing people though they look so —AH—I
remember heels, tight dresses, and dyed hair from before the Second Wave of Fem
…
The
tattoos are new.
I don’t
photograph them either, but smile as I imagine reading in bed—AH—I
smile and buy a ticket to Robert Redford’s “The Company They Keep.”

That lilac tree is amazing........I love lilac and forsythia, my two fave bushes. I enjoyed your ruminations as you wandered about looking for photo opps.
ReplyDeleteIt is always at least two worlds I find myself in ...and the flora of this city is mighty engaging this time of year.
DeleteOh, lilacs! It will be quite a while until mine bloom and enchant me with their fragrance, but I checked out my tulips today. The leaves are quite tall now, and in between them I can see buds which will soon (I hope) become blooms!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Susan.
I'm glad you finally can see spring on its way.
Deletesounds like a pretty fun day...and good on you respecting the people...i would probably be capturing little poetry pics of them...smiles...lovely tulips as well susan...
ReplyDeletePoetry pics may still come, tho I did not capture conversation as you do. Honestly, tho, new styles are not just retro clothing, they are also retro political advances of women!
DeleteBeautiday pictures Susan ~ I too went to the park this morning and took some picture of the spring blooms ~ Glorious time of the year ~ Have a good weekend ~
