Howdy howdy all.

I am still getting over my cold but I am feeling a heck of a lot better but still a bit groggy. I hope ya'll liked the Derby pics I had a bitching good time!

Well not much to say so I will post a picture from my trip to the Grand Canyon...

I miss the feeling of vastness that I felt when I stood on the edge of some rocks and took this photo...It was so humbling. How about some poetry...here goes...

Venus Transiens

Tell me,
Was Venus more beautiful
Than you are,
When she topped
The crinkled waves,
Drifting shoreward
On her plaited shell?
Was Botticelli's vision
Fairer than mine;
And were the painted rosebuds
He tossed his lady,
Of better worth
Than the words I blow about you
To cover your too great loveliness
As with a gauze
Of misted silver?
For me,
You stand poised
In the blue and buoyant air,
cinctured by bright winds,
Treading the sunlight.
And the waves which precede you
Ripple and stir
The sands at my feet.--Amy Lowell (1874-1925)
