people around the table

by Shimon @ 11/04/12 – 13:00:09

the window as seen through a glass of wine

sorry there’s not much time for cyberspace these days…
the time rattles by, as if in an old jalopy on a rutted dirt road in the woods
we hold on to our seats, hoping that the inertia will get us past
the potholes on the way…
more pictures than the little notes I shove into my shirt pocket
so I’ll remember… and then forget what they were meant
to remind me anyway…
more pictures than can be shoved into a blog…
but part of the impression, anyway,
as our old jalopy bounces our behinds
right out of our seats…
just this passing moment, to yell hi through the window
I’m thinking of you, aint I,
or wouldn’t have sent you this note
though if you were here, you could have taken part
in the wine and cheese
your comments will be answered later

he works on the computer, he’s intelligent, has a good sense of humor, and tries to view the world rationally…

she’s an artist… a student of life… she’s learning Chinese astrology right now

she draws more precisely than a camera can take a picture… a source of wisdom to her friends…

  I certainly did think of you as I was sharing these good times with fellow artists. And I raise a glass with you in celebration, Janet. By the end of the week, we’ll be finishing with all of this, and getting back to our normal lives.

  It seems as if I’ll survive the hectic pace of all this celebration. We finish with the end of the week, and then, fortunately, they’ll be a period of quiet.

I begin to notice that 'young' people are drawn to you, Shimon. How blessed that is. You become a part of them and age really does not matter. The conversations of your group must be so interesting, with ideas that go far into the night. You take a nap to revive yourself and then can return to the table, there they are in the middle of another youthful idea. These sparkling young friends of yours are the very best for your health. May it continue, this shared wisdom and happiness. Thank you for these moments that you have caught on camera.
Happy days forever! XXX

  Age really doesn’t matter much, Charlotte. When I was young I had older friends too, and now that I’m old, I have friends, both old and young. At every age there are certain advantages and certain understandings… but as long as we have common interests, we share in the joys… and sometimes in the travails as well. Glad to have had this opportunity to share with my friends on the net.

I really enjoy the text on this one. I'm not much of a people photographer and I really liked the comment of jollyweez. I too would enjoy being at that table, only im 74 and still drawn.

  Believe me, Bob, I have friends who’re older than you are, and young and old, it makes very little difference around the table, eating cheeses and drinking wine. I am sure you would have been a very welcome fellow in our circle.

  As I just said to my friend Bob, you would have been a welcome guest. The only problem would have been language… because not a word of English was heard. But the spirit of these evenings transcends the language. I toast to your health too. Dina.

  Yes, it’s been fun sharing the mood of our days now. This has only been a small part of what I’ve enjoyed, and it’s a shame I barely had time for the computer. But there are more pictures I will show… of flowers… and sheep. Thank you, Arose, for your comment.

I feel hungry after seeing your photographs;they are very good...though I'm no expert on the subject so not really able to judge.
I once made a cheese tart with water cress chopped into the cheese so I have seen green cheese before.~It looks tasty.

  Ah... weren't we told as children, that the moon was made of green cheese? And it certainly was tasty. Please come by, when you're in the neighborhood.
