Daily Shoot: Make a photograph today of something that produces a unique sound. Try to communicate that sound to the viewer.

Brass on brass
Rings out
in dulcet tones
resonance
echoing to distant lands
where craftsfolk
Fashioned these
Bell-like
to link together
east and west

Day 268: Franco Ontarian Pride

Day 268: Franco Ontarian Pride, originally uploaded by susanvg.

Trying to Work

I sit
My back to the window
Staring at my computer screen
Sounds reach me
Pulling me from my online world
To real life outside
Geese fly by
Their honking a haunting reminder
Of the coming cold
Train whistles sound
Gaining and losing intensity
As they approach and pass by
But suddenly pounding and shouting
Fire engine sirens
Percussion sounds
Coming closer
They pull me from my seat
Students, many dressed in green
Parading their pride
In their Franco Ontario origins

Then back to work
