Hey guys! Sorry this feature is late again! It's been a very hectic and exhausting week. Buuuttt let's get down to business. 

For this Watch Wednesday, we are featuring  somethingzenzen! This (I'm hoping) girl has an incredible view of the world, and is able to capture that view with perfection in her photography and writing. She is one of the few people I've come across that not only knows what Haiga and Tanka art even is, but she produces incredible pieces herself. If you take a quick browse through her gallery, you will see that she doesn't keep herself confined to one style of any artform, but rather she explores them all and produces incredible works of art in each form she explores!

If you would like to see her stuff, go to:
somethingzenzen.deviantart.com

and

As well as her blog at:

Her Dancein the yard
the tall green grasses dance
keeping time together
swaying slowly to the rhythm of the wind
but one small blade
standing stunted and alone
throws up her arms and says
no
her rhythm is her own
unchoreographed
uninhibited
side back down forth slow up fast to side she moves
she is seized by her love for the wind
and the sky and the hard-packed earth in which she is rooted
her dance is not
the dance of the ages
her dance is
the dance of the dervish
she will let the bigger grasses sway
and though they may grow tall
and though they may grow closer to the sun
it is she who is filled to the brim with light

And just so you guys know, not only will Friends Friday be late this week, but all of my photo challenges are also (obviously) going to be late. As I said it has been a very hectic week and exhausting week. Renny K and I are going camping this weekend. YAY! VACATION FINALLY! So I'm sorry if replies and what-not take a bit over the next few days. Enjoy!

 Mew Smilie Blush Oh wow! Thank you so so so much for the feature and all the :+fav:s and other kindnesses...and especially the encouragement that comes along with them! Totally unexpected. I'm so glad you enjoy my photos and poetry. I'm grateful and surprised and really just kind of overwhelmed. I think I've fainted.

(PS. I hope you enjoy your vacation! :) )
