Walking where the Symphony Plays

20190705_155056.jpg


The rain, she cometh, not by choice but chance. Not a word was heard, the noise is white, and imagined is the drip of drops, falling off the Maple tree. I can only see that the picture, so gentle and soothing. And the words prompt emotion that lies dormant and untouched.

Cover me with a blanket of your memory
Where beads of rain are engraved on my soul
Whisper softly into the wind
Caressed by morning light

This image should have its own verse, yet I leave it to stand on its own. I like the drops of moisture on the petal, allowing me to guess it or not. Sometimes, I see a picture, words can be used - leaving me to imagine more, hanging in the balance, an image that is equally as delicate. Not this one, but, we can imagine.

I want to thank @Tattoodjay for hosting the #WednesdayWalk challenge! It is a challenge that allows you to share what you see as you walk through your day. Show me where you walked today, I want to see what you got to see and hear what you have to say. If you want to do the challenge, drop him a link on his #WednesdayWalk post so he can try to visit yours! Whatever your day looks like, it is worth a walk-through. You can't always have sunshine and rainbows, but, you can always have a #WednesdayWalk!

The coneflowers are all aglow with loveliness. Flowers. There must be flowers. Always. To color my world. #alwaysaflower. Some days, they are like a sunrise, all by themselves. Have you ever known something that opens up the stage of your day?


Somewhere
A symphony plays
The strings of my heart
Harmonizing
Nature
Music to my eyes

The color of your nature is like music to my eyes.

All I have are my words, armed in my mind, written in pen, stand by stand. Oh, yes. Still by hand. It has a different feel. Altered not by keys, backspace, and delete, I write, erase, tear it to pieces and start all over again. And again.

It’s my way. I walk out to the deep end of the page and dive right in.

And then, the sky opened up and poured down, ruining any chance of walking any longer. It is such a pleasure to join #WednesdayWalk by @Tattoodjay. And just like that, this post is over. Come back tomorrow and we will do it again. Without rain. Mayhap.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Have you ever known something that opens up the stage of your day?

Beauty and love is everytime and everywhere. There is always a reason to wake up.

Thank you. Just the flowers in a few of my gardens. I didn't plant any this year, those are what come up on their own. Two days ago, I finally planted a bunch of marigold seeds I collected from last year. That will give the garden color until November at least. I threw them in all the gardens in the empty spaces.

Be ready for more color!

Thanks for stopping by!

The road less travelled often catches my eye and I feel compelled to step and make my mark.

I walk out to the deep end of the page and dive right in.

It's a beautiful experience. Isn't it?

It truly is!! Good morning from here! I am so behind on here. Well, not so much behind as not getting much spare time for myself on here. :)

We have had so much rain lately, it made me think of you and the Emerald Isle. :)

I hope all is well in your world! I woke up to sunshine and happiness! ❤️

Wherever the flowers, there will be a walk with Denise. Behind the lens with thoughts flowing randomly about life, how it should be painted in joy and happiness.

Symphony of life is colourful when we look in the right places with a lot of !LUV

Good morning from here, Joan! @joanstewart It is a beautiful day, in all of its sunshiney glory. Out early, ahead of the heat...isn't the world the color of Ireland when there is just enough water and no more? The green of emeralds.

Mother Nature gave me an appreciative nod today, for the wooded places are still soaking it up.

Hi, Joan! I hope all is well in your world today! ❤️

Emerald isles still one on my bucket list, yes the green evident everywhere except our lawns now slowly getting that crunchy brown texture.

Your side looks stunning, can imagine getting up early to escape the heat. I languish around in the bed for an extra hour enjoying the warmth, our thirteen Celsius which is superb jumping straight into shorts, t-shirt and slops knowing soon will be twenty-four outdoors !LOLZ

Happy Sunshine Day To You!

Do you know mine doesn't get brown, even in the winter? It is the kind of grass it is, it doesn't go dormant and even if we get snow, which almost never happens, it remains green underneath. Less so than in the warmer months, but, still not brown like when I lived in warmer climates.

Ha! Some people here get 13C in the summer on some days! Oh! Your winter sounds divine! :)

Thank you! ❣️

Winter with lack of rain we have grass go brown, summer in extreme heat it will brown again with other plants, sunburn.

Winter is ideal time in our neck of the woods, pity not all year round I could really enjoy that!

Good morning, Paul! @mrnightmare89 Thank you and yes! It is a coneflower, which comes in all different colors. I like them because they come up, year after year, and their blooms last a long time.

It was a nice walk, with the impending rain on its way. Makes you take a quicker step. :) It wasn't the rain that I was worried about, it was the thunder and lightning! :)

Thank you, I am glad you like the words. 💙

Have a great day!

glad you were able to get a walk in before the rain, can you send some our way we havent had any for a while and everything is looking so dry

you know what I love about your posts, you capture such beauty, and then highlight it with uplifting prose which makes one just feel so good

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)

Really? That is pretty harsh when it is dry with the heat. I hope you get some, I do believe you should get some this week. It really is so inconsistent though.

Thank you, JJ @tattoodjay Those are such kind words you use and I got up and running with the computer at 1030pm, so I was racing with the clock! My posting has slowed down to 3 times a week, sadly. Life has been so busy! What is up with that??? But, I always said real life first. So, I cannot complain. :) I just did, didn't I? :)

It is always a bonus when I get my WednesdayWalk in! Thank you! I hope you have a great day!

We finally got some much needed rain the past couple of days. It has been so dry here all summer. It probably wasn't nearly enough, but I think it will do the job kick-starting my lawn again. I'm likely going to have to mow on Sunday! I love the smell of wet dirt when it hasn't rained in a while.

My lawn is green and I have a sprinkler system, so if it gets too dry (which is almost never) I turn it on and it keeps it green forever more. Isn't that funny, but, just like the desert. My lawn would be crisp and dry and it was forbidden to water with their always drought.

If mother nature spit on it, it turned emerald green! I swear. It was so used to getting none, that any affected it just like it was abundant!

I loved my Michigan place. Acres and acres of that smell, every week. You just never get tired of it.

Hi, Jay! @bozz Thanks for stopping by! Almost the weekend!!

We have a sprinkler system too, but I have never used it because that would mean I just have to mow more!

Ha!! Well, I give it ten minutes a section once a week if it hadnt rained and the lawn looks dry.

The snob in me wants a nice looking lawn on a house that was worked so hard to own. 😀

Hello, Denise! Happy day :)
As always, you convey so much feeling with what you write.

Whatever your day looks like, it is worth a walk-through.

You are so right in this statement. I hope you have a beautiful looking day today 🤗🌸.

Good morning!! @coquicoin Thank you so much! It is worth a walk-through, yes? I think that most days are worth and there is always a silver lining to find.

That is the plan! The lightning and thunder and terrible weather blew through earlier in the week and hit my house! It killed the router and a DVD player. It is all fixed as of last night around midnight, but, gave me a rest from using all my voting power before #MarketFriday!

I need to learn how to save some for a rainy day! :)

Today is sunshine and loveliness! I just came in from a walk and it was another day of beauty! I hope your day is wonderful! ❤️

The flowers are just gorgeous Denise and they so speak… they brighten even the darkest days up.
Great captures. To bad the sky opened and the rain came down but you walked before. The rain is good for the plants though 😉 wished some came here hehehe 🤭
Such a lovely thoughtful words… beautifully written.
Have a wonderful Thursday 👋🏻☀️

Thank you! Snaps on the run and so late, I don't think any got edited. Oops! I hope to not have too many more days like this!

I actually don't mind the rain and we don't get it very often, but enough to keep everything green. Seems everyone is either feast or famine with the rain. It has been that kind of year.

Thank you, Jackie, for your kind and thoughtful words. I hope you have been having a great week!

You are welcome Denise 😁
I understand. You still manage a post 🤞🏻🤞🏻😎 they were so good they didn’t need editing. Love your flower captures.

I don’t mind either rain. We can dress for it… enjoy the refreshing rain and the plants so need it to stay green. Love to be surrounded by green nature, so I love the rain. 🥰

You are so welcome, anytime. So far it was a wonderful week. Hope yours too, even though it was busy.
Huggsss 🤗🤗

I like rainy days and always enjoy seeing pics with raindrops. We needed some rain and got more than our fair share. Beats not enough I would venture to say.

I have to agree with you on the rainy days, although, only if it doesn't get to be a bad habit. Pictures with raindrops are one of my favorite things, even before it got to be a popular photo op in the digital world. You have had a pretty wet spring so hopefully, that will bring to you a nicely colored autumnal palette for the seasonal makeover.

Good morning from here! Whoops! Afternoon!

Well, you could have walked longer, you just would have gotten wet. I love walking in the rain. It's very refreshing, invigorating, and lively.

Except in Detroit. Then it just smells.

I was already wet, but, it just came down in buckets. After lightning hit the house, I decided to think twice when thunder bumpers are around.

Detroit smells with no rain some days. It's been a long while since I had to go there.
