Great poem and photos!
Thanks so much Sir! Cheers!
My third attempt to bung in a comment! You have a wonderful blog! I normally bung in my monochrome work onto my crooked-and-black blog. I love your stuff
Thanks so much. I have a long way to go on the craggy and winding path to improvement, so the encouragement is deeply appreciated! So glad it was enjoyed. crooked-and-black is a delight, loving your work. Just fabulous. Thanks so much for drizzling by and bestowing such a nice comment. Jubilant cheers,
Autumn Jade
Well the blog is great. But you confuse me. Autumn Jade is a Chinese sounding name, yet your style of writing makes me think of you as a British lass! Welsh, maybe
Ah brilliant! I have always thought it sounded a bit Chinese, as well! My mum was very poetic and loved nature, so the moniker she bestowed upon me reflects that, a bit. Have you been to China, may I ask?
Ha ha, I apologize for the confusion. I am an old bit of driftwood living on the sodden shores of Florida, in the U.S. I am often mistaken for someone from the Nordic region or of the British Isle, however.
May I ask where you are from? From your name, I expect India?
P.S. Your black and white photography is just exquisite!
Thank you again for visiting.
Best wishes and smiling cheers,
Autumn Jade
Thanks for the comment on the B&W! Yes, I am from India. From the Northern state of Punjab, half of which, went to Pakistan. Here, you can generally make out where a person comes from by his / her name. Yes, I have been to China. I lived there for five years. While I have forgotten much of the language, I can still think in Chinese. It’s like a second home to me.
I really love this!
Thanks so much! Jubilant cheers to you,
Autumn Jade
