Evening, Wisdom and Beauty!!!

  1. Gorgeous all -- the sky effects in the last picture are really different -- I don't think I've ever seen a sky quite like that (and as you know, I spend a lot of time looking up!)

  7. Sylvia , the second one of the white lotus in the pond, kind of made me think of Marilyn Monroe and her famous photo where her white frock flared around, she trying , to keep it down......

    In an ever changing
    flowing
    fluid life,
    she stands
    her blonde wisps of hair
    reflecting the light,
    as she holds
    the undulating expanse
    of her white frock,
    so perfect
    on her frame.

    And sometimes
    we forget
    that the world
    would not have seen her
    had it not been
    for the complicated
    underwater maze
    of
    the green room support chorus,
    shining flat in the background,
    the slimy creatures
    in black slithering
    amidst branches
    and
    so much behind-the-scenes networking,
    and her powerful admirers
    who occasionally
    plucked her away
    and displayed her on their arm....

  10. I love the sky and the birds!

    And the bees are very happy indeed even if the flowers dont look like this any more!

  11. All three beautiful images Sylvia, but the sky in the last shot is like an epic story, the wind up high looks like it can't decide which direction to blow!
