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

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.
The woodland creatures must have been curious as I got my nose right down to the side of a log that had a tiny melting ice shelf. I used my cheap clip-on macro lens. A bunch of sliders later...
Happy Slider Sunday!
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.
“Every season produces some girl that the men follow with their eyes, and which other poor things want to emulate. They dissect her style, how she handles a fan, her walk, her slippers. The entitled nobility is a small group, well known to each other, desperate for novelty, always seeking someone they can either venerate or destroy. Still, while we thought ourselves wise and experienced, none of us were ready for Minette.”
― from Delicious Death by Byrd Nash.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for Friday 6th of March is "bokeh in flora" (no black and white. For the theme, I have opted to go back into my archives and select a photo from one of my favourite times of the year: spring time! So we go back to a beauifully mild day with blue skies that are only this rich azure in spring. Out on one of my strolls with my camera, I was about to turn down one street, when I noticed a blaze of brilliant white in a different direction that caught my eye. Walking towards it, I discovered that it was a white sakura blossom tree in full bloom, like a beautiful blossom cloud.
Also known as Japanese cherry blossom, seeing the sakura blossom tree covered in delicate white blossoms, put me in mind of the beautiful debutantes of my youth on the arms of their deb's delights, arrayed in their lovely white dresses, waiting to be presented to mayors, councillors, admirals and government ministers. I don't think debutante balls are fashionable nowadays, nor done any more, but for me they hark back to a time that in my opinion was a more genteel period in history.
A cherry blossom, also known as a Japanese cherry or sakura, is a flower of trees in the genus Prunus or the Prunus subgenus Cerasus. Wild species of the cherry tree are widely distributed, mainly in the Northern Hemisphere. They are common in East Asia, especially in Japan. They generally refer to ornamental cherry trees, not cherry trees grown for their fruit. The cherry blossom is considered the national flower of Japan.

Macro Mondays theme for 7/13/2025 is Cosmetics.
Seventeen focus stacked images, combined in Affinity photo.
-Lit with one Nikon SB900 attached to a 12x33in. soft box with grid set on camera left.
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.
Taken for the Macro Monday theme of 'Delicate'
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.

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.
I can't remember the name of this plant but it produces these delicate small pink flowers.
Something that grows in the shadows!
{possibly a Kalanchoe!)
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
Flowers
I am the lover's gift; I am the wedding wreath;
I am the memory of a moment of happiness;
I am the last gift of the living to the dead;
I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow.
But I look up high to see only the light,
And never look down to see my shadow.
This is wisdom which man must learn.
- By Khalil Gibran
