Due to flooding and road closures it was a pretty far walk and because of my vertigo I couldn't get closer.

i miss the touch of delicate blooms when they first come in spring.

reminds me of a mother's touch when you need a hug.

"in the blink of an eye, it could all be taken away. Be grateful, always"

Pretty bougainvilleas pink.

"Softness is not weakness. It takes courage to be delicate in a world this cruel".

Beau Taplin

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

 

from "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud" by Wordsworth

La Monja Gitana

Federico Garcia Lorca

 

Silencio de cal y mirto.

Malvas en las hierbas finas.

La monja borda alhelíes

sobre una tela pajiza.

Vuelan en la araña gris,

siete pájaros del prisma.

La iglesia gruñe a lo lejos

como un oso panza arriba.

¡Qué bien borda! ¡Con qué gracia!

Sobre la tela pajiza,

ella quisiera bordar

flores de su fantasía.

¡Qué girasol! ¡Qué magnolia

de lentejuelas y cintas!

¡Qué azafranes y qué lunas,

en el mantel de la misa!

Cinco toronjas se endulzan

en la cercana cocina.

Las cinco llagas de Cristo

cortadas en Almería.

Por los ojos de la monja

galopan dos caballistas.

Un rumor último y sordo

le despega la camisa,

y al mirar nubes y montes

en las yertas lejanías,

se quiebra su corazón

de azúcar y yerbaluisa.

¡Oh!, qué llanura empinada

con veinte soles arriba.

¡Qué ríos puestos de pie

vislumbra su fantasía!

Pero sigue con sus flores,

mientras que de pie, en la brisa,

la luz juega el ajedrez

alto de la celosía.

The Gypsy Nun

Federico García Lorca

 

Silence of lime and myrtle.

Mallows in fine herbs.

The nun embroiders wallflowers

on a straw cloth.

They fly in the gray spider,

seven birds of the prism.

The church growls in the distance

like a bear belly up.

How well you embroider! With what grace!

On the straw cloth,

she would like to embroider

fantasy flowers from her.

What a sunflower! what a magnolia

of sequins and ribbons!

What crocuses and what moons,

on the tablecloth of the mass!

Five grapefruits are sweetened

in the nearby kitchen.

The five wounds of Christ

cut in Almeria.

Through the eyes of the nun

Two horsemen gallop.

One last deaf rumor

she takes off his shirt,

and when looking at clouds and mountains

in the deserted distances,

she breaks her heart

of sugar and yerbaluisa.

Oh what a steep plain

with twenty soles above.

What rivers stood

she catches a glimpse of her fantasy!

But she continues with her flowers,

while standing in the breeze,

light plays chess

top of the lattice.

  

Some lovely small flowers in the Victoria Esplanade Gardens - amazing the beauty and fragility of nature with the petals having a gentle translucent quality.

A delicate balance and a modicum of patience is required for me to set up this image, me being a sometimes grumpy and impatient chap. The forks were set up on a mirror and the glass ball was adorned with a small star to acknowledge that the festive season is once again upon us.

Delicate Arch

Delicate Arch is a 52 ft (16 m) tall freestanding natural arch located in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah.

 

It is the most widely-recognized landmark in Arches National Park and is depicted on Utah license plates and on a postage stamp commemorating Utah's centennial anniversary of statehood in 1996.

Arches National Park : A 1.5 mile - 2.3 km trail (500 foot elevation gain) leads to the base of Delicate Arch, possibly the most famous natural span in the world. The La Sal Mountains are visible through the opening in the arch.

I saw this delicate Umbellifer at Boyce Thompson Arboretum and thought it was nicely delicate. Umbellifers are an order of plant that includes parsley, fennel, carrots and about 400 other species. Happy Umbellifer Wednesday

Phlox diffusa, Pacfic Crest Trail, Washington

 

The mountain wildflower species here are diverse and abundant, and I have many favorites among them, but I especially love seeing the carpets of phlox growing profusely on the hillsides along the alpine trails.

 

So soft and delicate in appearance, yet they thrive in some of the harshest conditions, preferring dry slopes, rocks, and gravel, bringing life to terrain that would otherwise seem barren. Their exuberant beauty is often such a contrast to their surroundings, and I admire their ability to bloom with such joy in difficult conditions.

May you have a beautiful week ahead. ღ

Croci are popping up along The Backs.

 

Delicate little things of blue and purple.

 

Prepare yourselves, I will bore you with them for the next week.

 

Got to Post&Run, but will catch up later.

This tiny handmade porcelain vase of lilies is no more than 3 cm (1 1/2") as shown in the photo.

 

I collected 12 of these beauties, a different flower for each month of the year. Each unique in its creation and handpainting.

Red rose bud at Descanso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge, California

Dendrobium delicatum is an Australian native orchid, actually a hybrid of two other natives. This one was hanging in a pot under a tree when I bought my house in the Gold Coast hinterland. It was not in good shape. Repotting, relocating and disciplined watering allowed it to prosper. It is now producing multiple stems each spring, smooth, delicate and beautiful.

Blossom the neighbours plum tree that grows over our front fence.
