Flower Duet - Lockdown Song

One of my favourite ever pieces of music is Delibes' Flower Duet from the opera Lakmé. The duet is sung by Lakmé, the daughter of a Brahmin priest and her servant Mallika whilst gathering flowers from a river. For me it’s one of those truly uplifting pieces of music that touches the soul and transports me to the banks of that beautiful river 💕

 

OK, the flowers should be blue lotuses under a dome of white jasmine and roses but in January lockdown England I had to go more for symbolism - ie these two little flower blooms - a flower duet.

 

For this week's Macro Mondays theme 'Lockdown Song'. HMM!

 

Many thanks for all the kind comments and faves on my images.
