Touching Beauty
There has been ample opportunity to indulge in music, art and poetry in September. Attended several concerts, one of which featured Margaret Leng Tan, the Queen of the Toy Piano, playing in a unique repertoire written just for this instrument in Toy! Toy! Toy!
Enjoyed the sculptures of Pablo Atchugarry, whose work is new to me. I previously posted about his work along Orchard Road, and above, the Feature Photo is a monochrome take on Il Fiore (Fire).
This has also been an intense month of Poetry Learning & Writing. I have been spending time working through Stephen Fry’s The Ode Less Travelled, relearning how to speak, recite & write in the English language. I am also thrilled to pieces that my poem The Shepherdess & the Harper was published in September’s issue of Visual Verse.
Running for Charity
Loving Husband and I try to participate in charity races when we can, and this month saw us in several. We figured if we were going to spend money to run a race, it might as well be for a good cause.
I don’t consider myself a particularly vain person, but I am extremely tickled when I find photos of myself running – a fairly rare occurrence except that Running Hour & the Yellow Ribbon Run had photographers on site.
Enjoying Food
It has also been a good food month, trying lots of new things. Here are some of my mouthwatering delights!
This post is my contribution to the following:
- The Changing Seasons, hosted by Su at zimmerbitch
- One Word Sunday: Monochrome, hosted by Debbie at travelwithintent
- Tuesday Photo Challenge: Our World , hosted by Frank at dutchgoesthephoto
Such an inspiring post from you esp about the race. And wow you have really been busy last month! 🙂
