2181. above and below


how blue!
the creek mirrors the sky
bluer than blue



Walking over the old stone bridge. I stopped. . .how blue!  I stayed there a moment admiring the deep blue in the creek, how the water was so blue, even bluer than the sky above. I took a picture. Later on, I looked at the picture and discovered I wasn’t the only one standing there and looking.


 

2180. remembrances


 
standing there
the silent chapel, dimly lit
holy
*
she left a prayer
mother, father and brother
long gone now





Carlino Chapel at Chestnut Hill College decorated for All Saints Day followed by All Souls Day, November 1 and 2. These observances coincide in Mexico with holidays known as Day of the Little Angels honoring infants and children who have died followed by Day of the Dead remembering family and friends.



2179. a true bug


midnight sky
all the way up to the stars
a leptoglossus




Bug or insect?  All bugs are insects, while not all insects are bugs.  This is a Leptoglossus, a true bug.
