Mobile Photography & Art Flickr/Instagram Showcase – 10 July 2022
The tranquility of rivers is never so close than in deep summer, rivers awaken our senses, renewing connections with nature. I’ve never lived far from a river almost like a magnet I’ve always been pulled towards one. They all have a destination and they travel relentlessly, unlike a lake. I have many favourites but perhaps if I had to select one, it would be the Ouse, in Sussex, not far from where my eldest son went to boarding school. In many ways this river is ‘owned’, in the sense that it is also known as Virgina Woolf’s river, it is where she drowned herself, whilst London was being battered by…

This weeks Saturday Poetry, matched with mobile photography/art is entitled ‘In Praise of Dreams’ by Gary Soto. He says of this poem “years ago, a poet friend showed me a photo of her cat, taken on the spur of the moment, with a cigarette in her furry chops. The cat was walking across a thick springy lawn. If I hadn’t trusted my friend, I would have shrugged and said, ‘I don’t believe it for one second—get me another beer, please.’ This poem of mine is all about the unbelievable, which visits me in dreams, with the help of godsend Polish poet Wislawa Szymborska.” I have matched mobile art by @nika.novich.art –…
