If I met it in person, I believe I&#39;d have to take it home! As for the poem, melancholoy and regretful acceptance flow through you beautifully. You are a wonderful voice for beauty&#39;s many transitions and for aching hope.Rickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14546882686381428986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233962479293542965.post-90678531486803982812009-09-24T13:34:57.532-03:002009-09-24T13:34:57.532-03:00Very soothing pictures, Vesper. :)BernardLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09722619048888613647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233962479293542965.post-41372310981927732722009-09-24T11:48:13.400-03:002009-09-24T11:48:13.400-03:00And here we are surging into spring, - well sort of, the weather notwithstanding! xxxAbsolute Vanilla (and Atyllah)http://www.blogger.com/profile/04871239587214383387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233962479293542965.post-28821356362023382392009-09-24T08:22:44.085-03:002009-09-24T08:22:44.085-03:00Thank you, <b>Jason</b>.

I could hug that duck! :-) You too have a great day.<br /><br /><b>Karen</b>, thank you! :-) This is the park with the tiny troll bridge. It&#39;s a place that &quot;speaks&quot; to me in many ways when I quiet down my mind...<br /><br /><b>Charles</b>, once I get past a certain sense of loss, I find autumn very cool, not just weatherwise... :-)<br /><br />Thank <i>you</i>, <b>Marilyn</b>! In fact, I thought that the duck could have these lazy thoughts... a last respite before cold settles in... Doesn&#39;t she look a bit smug even? :-) Happy Autumn to you too!Vesperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12417602625059442986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233962479293542965.post-50493087619459045662009-09-22T23:49:10.942-03:002009-09-22T23:49:10.942-03:00The word that sprang to mind was &quot;reflection&quot;--both in the sense of glassy mirroring and also in deep thought.
