A photo and a poem: 
Grey sea, restless
Trying hard to mirror the grey sky in vain
Upon the hilltop I see
A narrow path towards the lonely tree
My heart, restless
Trying hard to find the straw to reach
Grasping for the sky in hope
Just like the leafless branches of the lonely tree
The clouds parted, calm
In a brief respite from the speed of life
A breeze whispers to my heart
Be still, see the glimmer
Sun rays streaming, calm
Piercing the dark veil of doubt
As smile formed in my mind, I walk
Glancing back, the lonely tree waves |

Lovely photo, the poem's a gem,
Marblehead's Fort Sewall its crowning jewel.
So happy you found the elegant park
T'is the hometown of my eldest son, Marc.

*Blush* You guys are so kind! Thank you. Les, leave it to you to recognize the spot instantly! That park is so peaceful, heck, in fact the whole town is very peaceful. What a nice place to grow up. Yes, the poem pretty much wrote itself when I look at the photo and remembering how I felt when I was there. Pardon the crudeness, I like poems, but I'm no poet  |

Good stuff on both counts.
Poetry with pictures and words.

Will - Let me join in the praise for your photo-inspired verse. I am always envious of those who, unlike me, are able to create with minimal tools (such as a pencil and a notepad or a sketchbook).

Beautiful photo and poem. For someone who claims not to be a poet, you sure do give a good imitation of one!

 Claudia, Early winter 2008 This photo was posted on NFF, just before we left for our 2008 wintering over in Florida. This is a much better scan thanks to the Epson V500 scanner I bought in the interim.
