Love how the grass fills the frame...and the gentle backlight. Have done a lot of 'grass' myself this summer....
Really nice!

Kathryn: Marcie, grasses have such a graceful and emotional way about them. Even though if you asked them, they'd deny it. Gentle lights know it, even then the gentle light is not so gentle.

How ever did you do that? The music? Lovely words...a time that always is. Nice.

Kathryn: Ada, i think it is more important to ask the Tord Gustavsen Trio how they do it? Theirs' is the real artistry. I just used a little html.

Yes a certain time, that always is...

Love your poem. Love your shot. Love your background music. I guess I love it all a lot.

Kathryn: Mroy, thank you. Have you ever experienced the magic between wild grasses and gentle lights?

That all-too-rare union where the outcome is infinitely greater than the simple sum of the parts.

Grass flower/seed heads are not much more than cattle food until they take the opportunity to filter the sun's rays.

Wonderful stuff, Kathryn.

Kathryn: It takes a discerning gentle light to know that wild grasses are more than what is externally visible.

"Goodbye," said the fox. "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

"What is essential is invisible to the eye," the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.

(From "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Grass is one of those things which I simply used to take for granted, until I started photographing. There is such beauty and intricacy in the seed heads, such elegance in their long stems. Add this wonderful glowing light and perfect focus, and you have presented us with a perfect example of just how beautiful and inspirational grasses can be. (:o)

Kathryn: Rosalyn...make that emotionally beautiful and inspirational.

Grasses should never be taken for granted, should they?

This picture has a gentle beauty Kathryn.

Kathryn: that is because there is a gentle beauty to it. Thanks, Bill.

Very well captured with the back lighting

Kathryn: Thanks, Nig...some times back light can burn so bright and hot, they burn up those wild grasses.

Very beautiful Kathryn and creative too. Well done

Kathryn: Oh thanks, Tracy. Nice to know you find me...I mean the photograph ..so beautiful!

A beautiful image as always Kathryn - I love how the sunlight picks out the tiniest detail of the grasses. The music is wonderful - I really like it when you discover music in this way, something I would probably never have come across ordinarily. Is it difficult to attach a music file in this way?
Ingrid

Kathryn: Oh yes, the sunlight does not miss much when it comes to the tiniest detail of the grasses.

The music...well a very dear friend gifted me with it. So I am gifting it to you.

Attaching a music file is not hard for me because I do not use any sort of editor with my browser so I can write the html code easily. I have looked at it using other browsers that have an editor embedded and am not able to. Nice to know you like the music.

What a nice surprise to "hear" this image, Kathryn, and not just see it. I agree with what Ingrid wrote...finding a new artist I might not have found otherwise. Thank you.

Kathryn: My pleasure, Ginnie.

Fabulous words to accompany a hauntingly beautiful image. For me, perfect

Kathryn: My snowflake like frozen words were melted by a sails built of whispers and dreams.

Thank you, Floog. I think there are so many hauntingly beautiful things in this world. The trick is "seeing" them.

beautiful. mal

Kathryn: generous mal. thanks.

It seems the light is only visible, when it filters itself through the autumn leaves, or the wild grasses... In turn, the leaves and grasses reveal their inner beauty invisible before.

Kathryn: so it seems, VZ. There is some kind of symbiotic relationship...one dependent on the other.

This is as the leaves in trees act as speakers of the wind, the grass acts as mirrors the sunlight.

A timeless beauty.

Kathryn: Jose, beautifully worded.

lovely poem Kathryn and a superb image to go with it, beautiful indeed

Kathryn: tim, just a soft thought i thought i would share.

the softness of the plants, the warm light, I am really enjoying this like the warmth of summer!

A multimedial event! What a surprise to be welcome by music (quite more than "background"), the wild grasses seem to move and wave following the rhythm of music and poem! And the music is suiting the poem which has a meditative character because of the repetitions of some words and some phrases. All in harmony: "Me and You", grass and light, music, words and pic! I like the shimmering, gentle light, a jauntry summer feeling is coming up and transforming me into..a butterfly or a bee or...?
Kathryn, ich habe das Gefühl, als ob Du nach den vielen schweren Monaten neue Kräfte gesammelst hast und zu neuen Ufern aufbrichst!

The ripening grasses remain beautiful as the seasons change

as does your poetry and photographs.

Lovely image.

The light on tis grass is sublime

Time is a flitting girl
She woos you
take your attention
Next you find you are late
Mesmerised by the waif

Excellent picture of grass

Kathryn, you write so well. I love the poem. And the music is wonderful. Your picture, as always is wondeful too. And it makes me think of simple days when I was young.
