A working angle

                                                         
                                   Conversing with large machinery, sky calibrates the angle. 
                                      Have you noticed, how sky makes space for every tree  
                                                                             and shadow?  

Unexpected

I have a soft-spot for gladioli.  One of the most sensually-abundant flowers.  Their petals, a hue of flamboyance.  Why are gladioli so frequently part of a funeral arrangement?  Life & death, equal partners.  So, what's the backstory on these gladioli?  A month or so ago several green stalks popped up in a patch of dirt in our  your patio.  I decided to see what nature would offer.  Looks like we will have an abundant harvest of gladioli.  Whether they will all be this delightfully-shocking pink/purple, is a question for time's unraveling.  Stay tuned.  I am.

Language, subtle and muted

eloquently communicates. Isn't all language visual?

Front, back, and center



Progress is taking a nap.  




 

Curious messages abound

A walk is an opportunity for a smile.

I wonder


 
Do poppies love their shadows as much as their petals.  Do we love our shadows as much as our sorrow?

All four direction lead to the center


and depart from the center.  All I can think of is a memory of the first time I saw a peacock in a small, local animal preserve.  I must have been 6 and simply marveled at the patterns in the peacock's feather.  I couldn't understand how such an elegant creature had such a shrill voice.  No rhyme, no reason to that.
