San Francisco Solitary Trees

The Blissful Adventurer - San Francisco

San Francisco Solitary Trees

On consecutive walks in the city

I came upon separate solitary trees sharing their light and oxygen with me.

I found reflections of self in these lonesome trees

and knew no way to take them in my car or even across the street

So I shot them, not with cannon or laser but handy little phone

Edited them quickly and now they are never alone.

Lands End

From the initial image I saw promise

some paint and Spackle dotted here and there

a few lens filters for texture

now I have them with me

my solitary trees posted here on the web of information for all to see

Share my days I wish so often could be

with each of you blissful readers

while you likely cannot come with me

you may take your own bit of joy from

my San Francisco Solitary Trees

  1. Beautiful. I can relate to being a lonely tree, even if, to some, that doesn’t make any sense.

    • Jessica,
      I would imagine much of the world I try to capture in words or images makes little sense. I get this and it makes me much happier when readers who share a little emotion or empathy with my characters respond like this. This post really disappointed me until today; until the comments I received assured me the simplicity in the elementary rhyme was offset by these powerful images.
      Thank you!

  2. Nice job spiffing up the blog – nicely done. Interesting trees – great find. Thanks for sharing

  3. Beautiful! I love the new makeover!

    • yeah, just dressed up the WP blog a bit :-) I am working on some changes for all the blogs adding an online store for my photographs and a new audio podcast coming soon of my prosaic pieces….glad you like the new digs. Cheers Susie!
