[Photo Journal/ A-Z Photo Story Challenge] L is for Leaves

Myra here.

It’s Tuesday in our part of the world once again. Time for Frizztext’s A-Z Photo Story Challenge. Letter this week is L and so I share ‘leafy’ photographs with you taken from the West Coast Park here in Singapore.

I think I have mentioned once before that I must have been a dryad in a past life. As much as I love taking photographs of trees, I also love taking pictures of leaves. There is just something crisp in them that floats and glides within my soul, making me nostalgic and remember perhaps past lives or paths not taken.

L is for Leaves

Dream deferred - swept away into oblivion

‘Dream Deferred’ – swept away into oblivion.

Bakas ng lumipas

Fragments of yesteryears.

Mga nagkalat na ala-ala

Scattered dreams – no cupped hand to hold them.

Nababanaag ang liwanag

Brooding skies beyond.

Myra is a Teacher Educator and a registered clinical psychologist based in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. Prior to moving to the Middle East, she lived for eleven years in Singapore serving as a teacher educator. She has edited five books on rediscovering children’s literature in Asia (with a focus on the Philippines, Malaysia, India, China, Japan) as part of the proceedings for the Asian Festival of Children’s Content where she served as the Chair of the Programme Committee for the Asian Children’s Writers and Illustrators Conference from 2011 until 2019. While she is an academic by day, she is a closet poet and a book hunter at heart. When she is not reading or writing about books or planning her next reads, she is hoping desperately to smash that shuttlecock to smithereens because Badminton Is Life (still looking for badminton courts here at UAE - suggestions are most welcome).

  1. I think it is because I have seen so few autumn leaves during my lifetime, that I love photos such as these.

  2. I once read about a child, aged 4, starting to cry tears, because the kid watched leaves falling down to the ground from a tree…
