“Photography”

Our Pentax K1000       

taught me patience—       

adjusting for aperture       

calculating speed       

focusing       

framing       

waiting       

click       

our life captured moment by moment       

the special tree       

a candid smile       

the puppy's delight       

our son’s joy       

a wide angle view from the hilltop       

preserved       

memories at my fingertips       

photo albums at attention       

filling closet shelves       

lovingly dated and captioned       

adding weight and substance       

to our existence
