Steemit Monthly Author Challenge #1-2019 - Day 28 || Spring poem
#Monthlyauthorchallenge initiated by @steemit-mac
I will not repeat myself saying again how much I miss Spring. Instead, I will let Rainer Maria Rilke praise this sweet season. 🙂
Early Spring
Harshness vanished. A sudden softness
has replaced the meadows' wintry grey.
Little rivulets of water changed
their singing accents. Tendernesses,
hesitantly, reach toward the earth
from space, and country lanes are showing
these unexpected subtle risings
that find expression in the empty trees.
Check out the challenge started by me and @erikah, SeasonChallenge. We would love to learn about your impressions towards the Winter (these being the theme until 28th of February).

Hi, this is a great photo! What equipment did you use to take the picture?
Thank you. I use a Panasonic DMC-FZ7 camera.
Was this taken on fully automatic settings or using manual settings? I'm looking to improve my photography and am interested if you have any advice for a beginner. Look forward to hearing from you!
This particular photo was taken using manual settings. The auto one was good too but I wasn't completely satisfied with the result. 🙂
It is good you want to improve your skills. Photography is a wonderful hobby and a great mean to capture the surrounding beauty.
An advice? Hmmm... I'm an amateur myself so not in a good position to give advice. But, one thing I can say though: always pay attention to what happens around you and try to find subjects that would make a good story. A simple flower can send a deep message if properly framed.
And another thing: expensive gear does not make a good photo, the photographer does. 😉
Thanks for the reply :)
That is very true, photography is a great medium for communicating a deep message! 🙂
I look forward to seeing more of your work and hopefully, one day I can get to the level where expensive gear may be needed 😉
Love the poem and the beautiful flower :)
Thank you, my friend. 🙂
Most welcome my friend :)
I’m also waiting anxiously for Spring dear Roxy. One month of cold is enough! Lovely poem.
Thank you, my dear. Let's hope Februray will pass quickly and the warm weather will soon be upon us. 🙂
I missed the heading on my first read and I was thinking what should it be about?
And then I read found the title and it was so amazing. Lovely
Thank you 😊
