Entry 500

Celebration

Denise Levertov

Brilliant, this day a young virtuoso of a day.
Morning shadow cut by sharpest scissors,
deft hands. And every prodigy of green
whether it's ferns or lichens or needles
or impatient points of buds on spindly bushes
greener than ever before. And the way the conifers
hold new cones to the light for the blessing,
a festive right, and sing the oceanic chant the wind
transcribes for them!
A day that shines in the cold
like a first-prize brass band swinging along
the street
of a coal-dusty village, wholly at odds
with the claims of reasonable gloom.


Engaging, enriching, embracing, the blip community is truly exceptional. Connections, cameras, camaraderie and most of all a place to be creative. The rewards are great, the effort part of the fun and the experience unlike any other I have encountered online. Thank you blipcentral for making the enormous global community feel so personal. 500 journal entries, no gaps or back-blips, new friends, new confidence, what a gift this site has been to me. Full membership is the best way to be supportive of the huge and ongoing efforts of Joe & Company behind the scenes, it's small money well spent. You can be sure I will continue to happily blip on.



It's only fair that a special celebration for two of my best models should occupy this double red ballon day. Chicken Cordon Bleu served chilled with a catnip aperitif, a delicious morning surprise at the Just Be Blip Bistro, 500 Club.
