exotica

On top of everything else.....we are having a scheduled power outage for five hours---or more----so, I haven't been able to get anything together, post-wise.....Just a few pictures to hold you over..... All of these flowers were so incredibly beautiful...I had a hard time choosing which pictures to share with you..... I love being able to see the detail of petals.....It just gives me such a sense of the extraordinary beauty of nature...the magic of nature, in all it's complexity and it's simplicity, too...... Like the above.....AMAZING, isn't it?

That's all for the moment....!

More To Come......

torontopearl had this to say:: Thank you for "interpreting" flowers for us...always so beautiful.

A friend surprised me with a bouquet of tulips last week; flowers always give me a great sense of calm...and it was beautiful to watch them slowly open over the next couple of days and reveal themselves and their soft, pastel colors.; Friday, March 20, 2009 at 4:02:00 AM PDT

Had a lovely moment in your garden thanks so much for that.
Love,

Pat had this to say:: Thank you Naomi - they are really spirit lifting.
I nearly did a naughty thing. I was at the nursery and saw a model of a blue tit perched on a garden trowel and I though about buying it and photographing it and pretending it was a real bird. But my conscience wouldn't let me. Am I bad?; Friday, March 20, 2009 at 9:38:00 AM PDT

kenju had this to say:: I hate power outages! But it is nice of you to give us a few beautiful things to look at.; Friday, March 20, 2009 at 12:58:00 PM PDT
Anonymous had this to say:: Hi Naomi, thanks for sharing. Its just starting to be early spring, my hubby was able to harvest, first picking of spinach, this week what a treat. So we have been busy calling every one, who was interested in purchasing it. Farmers markets do not open until mid-June around here and much too cold yet for someone to wait at stand. Do Lily of the Valley grow in your area? they are one of my favorite spring/early summer flowers. Have planted them around our house several times, but they do not adapt to hardpan soil very well. Your photo's always make me go AHAAA. Nature is a gift, can you imagine a world with out flowers?
5 hours of no electric, guess we are most fournate, as only ice or snow storms, affect us usally in that manner. But what a pain, to be without it.

Chickie had this to say:: Am I just a pervert or does the stamen-thing in that last one look like a bent penis?

5 hours of a scheduled outage? Holy cow. Is this something that happens regularly?; Sunday, March 22, 2009 at 7:30:00 PM PDT
