When I got my Canon PowerShot A640 in the early Summer of 2007 I started taking various shots in the backyard. This image of a purple Iris was one of the first macro shots I had ever taken, and definitely one of my most popular images here on RedBubble. It was named Iris’ Tongue because it looked to me like it was sticking out it’s “tongue”. / / “Iris’ Tongue II” has been shown as a part of the Flower Power Project Exhibition in Frisco, Texas. / / “Iris’ Tongue II” is available in all print formats offered by RedBubble. / / / / / / / / Check out more of my art from these categories: / Holiday Cards / Abstracts / Sketches / Birds / Seascapes/Landscapes/Sunsets / / Subscribe to art updates / Subscribe to T-shirt updates / Become a fan on FaceBook / Add me as a friend on FaceBook / Follow me on Twitter _____________ /

Watching the shore I see my life wash out to distant places. / I see my life as if it were the wave thats coming in. / One moment its in full view I see it loud and clear. / And now its taken a new course no longer in my view. / My life has been the same as you I whisper to my friend. / You move with a mighty force like I did when I was young. / But now as you reach the shores and the end is close for you. / You seem to have more in common with me the mortal man. / I watch you as you stumble in a small and fearless friend. / When once you were a mighty thing with force to scare most men. / But now you limp up to my feet I can feel your feeble cry. / I hear you loud and clear my friend, that the two of us will die. / You die here as I stand and feel you cling to me. / But you my friend will rise again to beat these shores again. / But I your watchman standing here too old to have much fear. / Watch as you go rolling out to come back in again. / As if you were afraid to die alone it’s me you wish would come. / My time like your is not too long I seen many go to you. / And as I stand and watch you come I really have no fear. / We share a common tread my friend my body’s made of water and one day soon you and I will swim the sea together.
I was going to add this one to my after the rain calendar…but didn’t so I thought I will try it on for size on RB!
This is not a flower from my show and poems for her. This poem came up today as I was listening to the news about someone beating his wife. / Seems to be common in some country’s of the world to beat your wife. / It had me really angry and after the anger I thought about that man and what he might feel later in his sad life after years have passed as he sat in front of his TV alone. I sit here in my favorite chair the late late show is on. / Someone is talking about something as if I really care. / I sit here every night alone wishing I was dead. / But Gods making my days real long I guess he’s really mad. / I sit and see where you once sat your chair is empty now. / I see the knitting that you made in your happy days. / I see the kitchen table from where I sit, your plate sits in its place. / The only thing missing in this show is you my loving wife. / I sit here every night alone afraid to call you up. / Its been five years since you walked out our house. / Not one word have I heard from you since that dreadful day. / I wonder if you’ll ever let the past lie down and die. / I did them things to hurt you hon I know it was my fault. / And as I look down at the floor tears begin to fall. / What was it that I said to you so mean it knocked you down. / I had a drink I know its wrong and that was no excuse. / I took the one thing that you loved your photo of your mom. / And then I ripped it apart and threw it in your face. / I drink, I lie, I do the things that I said I’d stop. / I go to church and ask the lord to help me see the light. / But no I walk right out that church and soon as we get home… / If dinners not the way I want then I start a fight. / I know I said I’d get it right, but hon I just don’t know! / I think I am just too bitter at the way my life has gone / Its not your fault you did it right you stood tall by my side. / When your friend’s said take a walk and leave me to my own. / You took it all and smiled at them and told them they would see. / And then I did just what they said.. Oh hon I feel so bad. / And then the one that loved me most I turned on her too. / I sit and wait until he comes and takes me by the hand. / I hope that he will forgive me hon for all that I have done. / I know I don’t deserve his love for I have been so bad. / So here I sit and wait for him as tear drops slowly fall.

Lily Stamen, shot with a macro lens. / Straight from camera.
This is not one of the flowers from my show and “Poems for her” / But will be in my book. I dream to find my soul again deep inside my heart. / And when I bring it out to share it starts to cry in pain! / Oh cry your heart out in my chest and come back out no more. / These thing that I want to save you from you must never see again. / Lie deep within my aching heart and weep and weep poor thing. / For what man has created is made from all your pain. / I want to save you from the hurt but you’re so curious. / You want to let the world see what you’re made of. / But the world has changed my friend its moved to a new plane. / One thats lost the virtues that you have as you weep inside. / So come back to me my love and I will nurture you. / And give you what your looking for all my eternal love.

Going through some old images and found this shot showing pollen dripping down from the centre of the flower. Really liked the colour offsets in this. Was used in an exhibition I shared with Smarti77 sometime ago. Shot with a Canon 400D – 18-55 lens.
Tulip, shot with a Canon EFS 60mm f/2.8 macro lens. As is.
