Excerpts from the Album and song of the same title
by Kate Bush, c 1989
The Sensual World
Mmh, yes.
…Stepping out of the page into the sensual world
Stepping out…..
to where the water and the earth caress
and the down of a peach says mmh, yes
…when I could wear a sunset, mmh, yes
…You don’t need words…
Stepping out of the page into the sensual world…

Eight thirteen p.m. That’s the time it was when I last saw the Giant Sequoias, hopefully not for the last time. It was dark but there was still enough light left to take the last chance for one more photo.
Sky was the vivid blue that lasts only for a few moments before the last effects of sun disappear. It was the kind of blue where you check around and can’t distinguish any green from the next on the sillhouettes against it…so you’re sure it’s definitely dark… but wondering how could such a dark color be glowing so brightly? That blue is going to be the star, and have stars, in one of my next paintings.
This is the most glorious tree in our neighborhood. It’s across our back alley and has been a favorite subject for many years because the silhouette is so beautiful against any sky during any season or time of day. The photo was taken nine days ago during the almost full moon on September 12th.
OK, so the subject of sunflowers grows weary and cliche for some, but the plant has so much character, especially when the flower heads droop with the weight of seeds. Sunset is spectacular tonight with their swaying sillhouettes against the sky.

"Images and ideas are powerful, and presenting them is what I do best, ultimately as a traditional Artist, but I do not limit the means to expression and increasingly appreciate photography as an Art form. My camera is a Canon EOS50D."
