A stand of tiger lilies graces a path near the Apple Creek trail, part of a major local wetlands system that not only helps keep the creek clean and manage stormwater, but also provides some beautiful habitat for hiking, biking, running, walking...and, of course, trekking :)
While I enjoyed the vibrant swath shown here, the title was inspired by poet William Blake, who was talking about the big cats and quite probably more:
TIGER, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? |

Very well lit- was the sun setting, or coming up??
Good details, nice POV--it leads you to look onto the curve to see what's next.
I like it.
