The Sunday Muse #113

Hi gang! Fireblossom here with a double dose for you this week. Both photographs are actual color (not colorized) photographs from 1908 and 1913 respectively. They were done using a process called Autochrome Lumiere. I thank my BFF Hedgewitch for turning me on to them. 

Choose either image for your poetic inspiration and write a poem, link up and link back, visit, enjoy!

  2. Early is good for getting worms, they say. I had a lot of fun with the first photo here. I have not as yet read yours, Shay, so can only hope you didn't have the same idea.

    1. Yours--including the photo manipulation--was marvelously conceived, dear BFF. But no, we went different directions (but are nearly always on the same wavelength nonetheless!)

  3. Early is always better than late, unless you are trying to be fashionably late of course. Love the photos and the Autochrome Lumiere info. Thank you Shay and Joy!! I shall return.

    2. Well then we are more alike than you realize. I am the woman that could be put on one of those shows where they take everything out of your closet and remake you. LOL

  4. I will return for serious comments after re-reading Shay and Joy. (If I have enough nerve to share anything after the first reads.)

    3. You know how when you get an image or some lines yet you can't make them work, but you can't make them go away either? That. Sux.
