A sense of history…

I always wonder

feel the drama

of

worlds behind windows

and

wish I could

peep into other people’s lives

not just from curiosity

but

in some effort

to figure out my own.

  2. Ditto. Late in the night when I look at lit window I wonder how many poets are punching the keys of their laptops to pen down another beautiful expression just like here!!

    • Thank you so much, Richard!! Means so much coming from you. The whole town of Saugerties, NY had this feel to it. Everywhere. Glad you are a distant Peeping Tom, too. 😉

  4. Thanks for your mail, Ellen. Your new photos are exactly my taste. I also wonder who lives behind doors and windows. It’s good for our fantasy to look at such things and specially to see such things. Really wonderful photos. Have a nice week-end, warm regards Mitza

  5. Ellen, these are intriguing pictures and poetry. Memoirs, I suppose, are one way to see the ‘secret’ world of others. It’s always a comfort to know that we’re not alone. When I see an old home with a well cared for garden I crave to know the story behind it.
