clay shirky twittered about wordle.com this morning and so i thought i'd give it a try.

i used: straighter edges, horizontal, 'lucida sans', and the 'heat' color palette ... i think i like it ...

someone tried to fetch my technorati password tonight and it reminded me to go on over there and claim my new/old blog (for my Technorati Profile) that's now hosted on our crowd fusion platform ... sweet ...

tis flicker time on flickr, once again,
this fellow shared his visage, oh so fair,
he flew in for a moment, looking zen,
and posed in blue bokeh, that's oh so rare ... xo

this yellow headed blackbird shared a wish,
and jumped onto this branch with a fine swish,
"oh happy birthday lucy," she did sing,
"for all the happy 'bird' days that you bring" ... xo

"... Of Nature I shall have enough
When I have entered these
Entitled to a Bumble bee's
Familiarities ..."
 
Emily Dickinson

"... NATURE rarer uses yellow
Than another hue;
Saves she all of that for sunsets,-
Prodigal of blue,
 
Spending scarlet like a woman,
Yellow she affords
Only scantly and selectly,
Like a lover's words ..."
 
Emily Dickinson

and while we pledge our hearts belong to jan,
and we do send our hearts when ere we can,
tis also true, our hearts belong to mim,
and with this love our lives do surely brim ... xo

magnolia tree does grace my eyes, so fair,
her scent does waft so soft, upon the air,
with blossoms that do fill my heart, with smiles,
and spread from me to you, across these miles ... xo

"... the inundation of the spring
submerges every soul,
it sweeps the tenement away
but leaves the water whole.
in which the soul, at first alarmed,
seeks furtive for its shore,
but acclimated, gropes no more
for that peninsular ..."

skimming through the air
twirling fine pink petal skirts
cherry blossoms reign ...

petal profusion
cushioning both air and earth
tradition whispers ...

i've been longing for a 'slideshow' capability for some time now - wherein i can post a day's shooting experience - and flickr's new video capability seems to fit the bill! cheers & hugs ... xo

this cockatoo did flirt with me,
on one bright sunny day,
he cooed and crooned with throaty glee,
and danced the day away ... xo

ladybug on my windowpane,
sun is shining, for the main,
wishing sweet spring thoughts to you,
may your skies be kissed with blue ... xo

this chickadee is singing
"happy spring!"
so may her twittery tiding
sweet luck bring ... xo

who is this harbinger of spring?
and what new message does this bring?
i'm listening as the birds sing,
and to their mates fine seeds they bring.
now spring's not due for many days,
but buds and birds move 'bout their ways,
of welcoming spring with their praise,
with courting, budding, and displays ...

today we watched the cardinals feeding each other - a sure sign of pending spring! a wee bit early, by about twenty-four days but, hey, who's counting?!? ;)
