Fireblossom has offered us not one, not two or three, but fifteen of Daryl's photos and asked us to choose one as inspiration in today's Weekend Photo Challenge at the writers' group Imaginary Garden with Real Toads.
Choosing just one of Daryl's photos is the most difficult part of the challenge, so I've chosen two.

of the colors,
the charm of the shapes
and the smiles
of the people,
the traffic,
the bustle,
the city,
alive.

the photographer sees it
where others are blind.
from her eye
to her lens
to the
digital pixels,
recording,
rewording,
renewing
it all.

Do check out Daryl's photos, either on her own blog or on Real Toads. Both links are here and both will give you a new appreciation for Daryl's New York City.

Yes, the photographer sees it through the lens and you have captured it in words. I love the layout of your two stanzas.
Kay, I didn't know that you, too, had already been Darylized! Isn't she great?
You've done a delightful job here, and I'm glad someone used that really marvelous 72nd street shot. Your words brought it even more to life. And who could resist those tulips?
Oh! I do love your top choice Kay... warmth colour shapes...it has it all. I must click over and check out Daryl's site.
Have a wonderful week-end xx
Excellent, Kay - you've really rediscovered your voice in the last couple of months:-)
Just beautiful, Kay. That bottom photo of that splash of color between the black railings really captures my eye.
Really lovely description of the lovely photos, and it goes so well with your travel blog!
Just got home from work and am now excited to go check out the prompt. MARVELOUS photos! Love your poem - it speaks all the bustle of the city and interprets the photo wonderfully.
I loved all the pics and had a hard time choosing too--you did a great job with these two.
These photos are stunning and I love the verses that you put with them.
Great job.
Super poetry.
Nice imagery in your urban poems.
Nice poem. I liked both of them.
Kay, thank you so much .. what a wonderful pair of poems .. and the top photo, its West 72nd Street, and its one of my favorite photos ever ..
The top photo is one I almost chose. It is stunning. I like the idea of renewal.
