to describe
how what I imagined
could also be found
How the light grey sky
sighed in my ears
and made me softly
made me kneel in the grass
just out of my sight
let dancing letters
no sounds resound
like words in sentences
they appear as light,
shapes and colours in which
my thoughts sink ...
the image speaks for itself

If it is then also (almost) windless and the sky is slightly cloudy, there is an opportunity to separate the subject from the background. This creates such'a nice calm image where all attention goes to the subject and no distracting elements in the background create distractions. This morning I was lucky enough to find several icarus blues that had spent the night among the poppies.
