These shots were take last month, as we walked back from the Vancouver Aquarium through Stanley Park. Most of the leaves had long since vacated their limbs and turned brown, or completely to soil; one might still find some flowers, but it would take some searching Hive account@dswigle; still without flower or deciduous leave there was color to be found.

Check out these beautiful shrub bushes.

Join me on this rainy day walk through Stanley Park and enjoy the photos and some revisit poetry.

This Divide

close to the second
that isn't
the air shimmers
slipstreams cut swathes
terrestrial wormholes
vibrational tunnels
through the black
of the unseen

the wind
wraps a cool hand
wrestling the heat
from greying adobe walls
baked earth and tired bones
the decay whisked away
lost and transformed in toric flow

everything turns in on itself
electrons vibrate
it’s an uproar
experienced only
in the dark mirror

sparks light up the illusion
open a fissure
in the great divide
shifting, phasing in and out

the man of numbers
with the staticky hair
reminds
we can’t go fast enough
to recreate this time
this divide will never come again

I have also left links to some very informative videos ALL featuring MD's and PhD's.
