Steptoe Shadows by Mike Dawson
When I saw the truly awesome shot above I was reminded, for some reason, of this poem.......
- IN HER GARDEN OF YADDO
- HOURS fly
- Flowers die.
- New days,
- New ways,
- Pass by.
- Love Stays
- - - -
- Time is
- Too Slow for those who Wait,
- Too Swift for those who Fear,
- Too Long for those who Grieve,
- Too Short for those who Rejoice;
- But for those who Love,
- Time is Not.
And Van Dyke's poem, of course, brought a 60s rock classic (one of my favorites) to mind.......
Time Is by It's a Beautiful Day

Awesome, Lydia--I loved the Steptoe Shadows by Mike Dawson. You have introduced me to some wonderful pieces of artwork. I also love the Henry Van Dyke poem and I remember the 'It's a Beautiful Day' album from long in my youth!
I thought you mentioned you had done a piece on Edward Hemingway? I didn't see it! Or perhaps I misunderstood the note you sent me.
Take care,
Melinda
I dropped in from some other blog and was captivated here by a beautiful painting, an awesome tune.
What a truly amazing picture, and I love how you take us to the poem and to the song. As I've said before, I love how your mind connects things, Lydia.
Melinda~ I left a message for you elsewhere explaining the Hemingway post. I'm glad there was some confusion because it brought you here today so you could see the beautiful photo. :)
lakeviewer~ I'm so happy that you stopped here awhile and please return! Your name seems a bit familiar and I wonder if I might have been your way in the past. I'll confirm that with a new visit...
Erin~ You have said that before and it made me happy then as it did today. :) Glad you enjoyed this.
