Mobile Photography – Saturday Poetry – “The Silent Lover” by Walter Raleigh
I am introducing a new section, simply titled, Saturday Poetry. Each Saturday I will publish a poem and I will also try to link a mobile photography image, that has been uploaded to our Instagram hashtag #theappwhisperer.

I have matched @carolynoneillphoto‘s image “I have loved you for a…

Sometimes in our daily work, we receive the most beautiful testimonials, so many in fact, that I am going to make a point of publishing and linking to previous ones, as each and every one, means so much to us and drives us on. This weekend, following the publication of Sarah Bichachi’s intimate interview and further, her imagery within our Saturday Poetry section, we received a wonderful donation, but not only that, we received these touching words and with permission, we are so pleased to share them with you today…thank you Sarah!
