Melbourne Candid Series #1270 Flagstaff Garden

 


A lady with rabbit-bright teeth
stands in Flagstaff Garden,
a cup held lightly in her hand
as if it knows her secrets.

A wry smile curls at the edge
of her quiet afternoon,
soft as the breeze that moves
through elm leaves overhead.

She watches the world
with a gentle, tilted wonder
a moment paused,
simple, odd,
and perfectly her own.

  1. She looks like she is enjoying a fine day at Falstaff Gardens with her drink and two bags. She has an odd looking hat. Fine character study for your photo.

  4. Para mi lo que expresa es seguridad en si misma, le importa un bledo lo que piensen los demás.

  5. Love the flowers in her hair, seems most appropriate for the gardens. Cute poem.

  7. The tilt is interesting. The look on her face makes me think she doesn't like what she's drinking. Many stories in this shot, my friend.
