Peony Leisure

May 25, 2021 by Greg Molyneux

35mm portrait orientation photo of a single bright pink peony blossom. Shallow depth of field and smooth bokeh frame out a pollinating insect flying to the flower.

Among spring flowers the peony rains supreme. The ground level royal companion who so elegantly follows the twin beauty of the cherry blossom. Two flowers worthy of Japan warrant a haiku.

Heaven Scent

May 6, 2021 by Greg Molyneux

35mm dreamy photograph of pink lilacs fresh bloomed and glowing in silky smooth bokeh.

Come for the dreamy lilac photograph that looks so good you can almost smell it, and stay for the haiku—it’s short by definition.

The April Fool

April 1, 2021 by Greg Molyneux

Moody 35mm photo of a yellow daffodil blossom shot wide open with a bokeh rich shallow depth of field.

Moody 35mm photo of a yellow daffodil blossom evokes dreams of poetry, even if it a bit unwieldily. Here the photographer muses over the fools in life he assume they know it all.

Sky Floor

January 30, 2021 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle photo of a golden hour mackerel sky reflected over still waters of Stafford Forge Wildlife Management Area.

Altocumulus clouds glory in reticulated patterns. Like a well kept parquet floor who’s played host to countless balls and dance. The glimmering lights waltz upon the sky shimmering and bending, passing off as the scale of the fish.

I Knew You When

September 28, 2020 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle HDR photo of Cedar Run Dock Road salt marsh right at sunset. Pink tones kiss a low level cloud deck to color up the sky.

Leave it to a sunset to bring pause to a racing mind. A pause long enough to strike the muse and leave the photographer trying about lines of poetry. The result may not be great, but the effort is always worthwhile.

Where Goings

July 31, 2020 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle photo made at blue hour over the bright green salt marsh of Cedar Run Dock Road. Low cumulus clouds race across the sky and reflect in a still water pool.

Creative expression comes in many forms. Here, a day removed from my 38th birthday, I share a poem to dance with my photograph. Touching on the themes of time, age, and acceptance as we grapple with inevitability.

I Wonder

November 12, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Golden hour photograph lights up a derelict marina.

I wonder what the future holds Hope or fear light or dark untold Uncertain what the day will bring Nighttime darkness turns and sings Tread lone to sole’s despair Shine and polish to soul’s repair Ardent and forward to set things right Walk back round to find the light Stark and full and wrought with […]
