My dad used to put on these little slide shows and his sisters would always gripe, "Where's the people?" They never really appreciated his appreciation for nature. Seeing your photos of flowers and fungi... remind me of him. My brother still takes more pictures of nature than people. The yellow flowers we call "cowslip" and the purple, Grape hyacinth.
So pretty! I love crocuses. I've been trying to get outside to take a few shots of the spring flowers but the monsoon season has arrived in Germany and we are having non-stop showers. Good for the vegetation but not so good for the camera. :-)
Thanks, sage. I have fun doing it - both the photography and my occasional stabs at poety.
Thanks, nines. Yes, I tend to do more photos of nature than people though I do definitely do some of both. You generally don't have to worry about displeasing nature by taking pictures of nature. :) As for the names of the flowers, it's always interesting to hear what different people call them.
Hi, christina. Thanks for coming by. And,yes, rain does have a way of stopping one from taking outdoor pictures. Actually, here, we could use some rain. Maybe you could send just a little of yours here. ;)
Thanks, rubysoho. I had fun doing the post.
How true, minka.
Thanks for coming by, aluadacbs. Always good to hear from you.
My main blog: Ramblings generally focuses on telling a story via photography and words. These stories generally center around family, nature, and church although sometimes just about life in general. I also have a blog entitled Fingerprints. I post less frequently in Fingerprints. It serves as a catch all of anything that does not go in my Ramblings blog including memes, quizzes, and reports on books and movies.
The road awaits
Time doesn't
The road beckons
Time steps forward
Will we move
In step with time?
Will we step forward
Shaping our time?
Will we take time
To see the present?
Will we explore the past
And understand our heritage?
Will we laugh?
Will we wonder?
Will we touch?
Will we feel?
Time flies on
We have choices
Shall we go fast?
Shall we go slow?
We shall go forward
But we will choose the pace
We may dance with all our heart
Or bathe ourselves in a setting sun

You make good use of your digital camera... Nice haiku

An absolutely beautiful poem to match a beautiful picture.
Uh...that remi8nds me of a song:
" Just remember in the winter,
far beneath, the bitter snow,
lies the seed, that with the sun´s love;
in the spring...becomes the rose!"
Yessss! Everyone loves sleeping, but me more than anyone!:D
Thank you so much always
thats beautiful...

I'm not sure why, Tim, but your words made me start crying. For you? For me? Not sure why....
What beautiful flowers and lovely words.
Thanks, ginnie. Sometimes, words have a way of touching the depths of our souls.
