Christine's 1,000 Words A Day
Longing
Posted by Christine (Ellemford, United Kingdom) on 23 February 2012 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Longing for what?
For lost youth
To have a child
Be care free
To join in
I'm very much an amateur photographer. I live in the hills of the Scottish Borders which has fantastic flora and fauna, as well as wonderful light.

Just to enjoy the sun and the moment, maybe ? Great framing with her strong presence holding the left brim of the frame and that sunny scene, can hear the kids' joy. When a day ends another one is on its way & rises, correct ?... Melancholic sweet feel here. Have a nice day dear C*

God is a joker. The more you want a baby, the less chance one will appear. The more you want to belong, the harder it becomes.The more you want to set your mind free, the more it will fill with irrelevance. Poignant shot and words.

Wonderful warm golden tones in this Christine, looks like a good safe shallow beach to play one. Where is it?

@Curly: A great beach, it is at Dirleton in East Lothian, north of North Berwick (not to be confused with Berwick on Tweed)

The sun plays beautifully in her hair, a beautiful scene where kids have the spotlight. Nice day.

Beautiful light shines from the Golden haired giant and a continuous magical play
of light over the beach, and that glorious magical sky, so wonderful !~

With this title and this image , I only can think of longing to have a child ... This blond one in a corner reminds me of my ex sister in law, who never had a child with my brother , and this marriage did not work any longer .
Very emotional image and title together !

This is superb, Christine...
The sunlight on the hair and in the air
Brings a smile everywhere,
The longing wish in the poem
Remind us of thoughts when left alone
My heart is captured by your words
And my eyes turn moist for just a while,
But then I see you in the light
and I know that things will return and make things bright.
Your image is so beautiful and the words are so touching...remember you are loved by - most of all - that guy in the bunker..but also know that you are loved by all of your friends out here!!Cheers and hugs - DJ
