Pens:
The eternal promise is wavering
Unable to rid itself of
Spineless assaults.
Nature’s abstractions meditate the forefront.
Dancing with Stars and Planets to the voice of the soul.
Entwining all we thought we knew into illusion and perception.
Wishes are the backbone, results are the pledge. ~~ Sally D. Donatello

Amazing colours and shapes you have found in the withered bark. Beautifully captured, Sally.
Otto, thank you so much.
We have many crepe myrtle here Sally, which always reminds me of my dad, who loved them. I’ve not thought to photograph them yet your images are so striking and beautiful I may yet give it a go. Loved the prose as well.
Tina, delighted that the images brought back joyful memories. Thanks so much for your response.
