I know I am repeating my models...... but I just head to take some more photographs of this wonderful cozy seedlings.
My adoration spreads wings
When thou commandest me to sing
it seems that my heart would break with pride;
and I look to thy face, and tears come to my eyes.
All that is harsh and dissonant in my life
melts into one sweet harmony -
and my adoration spreads wings
like a glad bird on its flight across the sea.
I know thou takest pleasure in my singing.
I know that only as a singer I come before thy presence.
I touch by the edge of the far-spreading wing of my song
thy feet which I could never aspire to reach.
Drunk with the joy of singing I forget myself
and call thee friend who art my lord
GITANJALI

NOTE: I'm off to NYC today so I'll be back tonight to comment on all your lovely photos.
Thanks for the support, darling flickr people!! xoxo
Last nights sunset was so stunningly beautiful...
I missed the best... until I had the camera out and
ran up the stairs... but there was still some dramatic
beauty left.
I know... quite a jump from the fragile spring beauties to these winter photographs... I am just working with my laptop and found a file with some of my winter photography...
“Fan the inner flame that shows us
More and more of our true home
Revealed in our children
To embrace each as our own
There is no race or color
That separates the soul
For we are all a family
And in unity are whole
There is no one religion
That can claim authority
All true Masters love each other
And continue within me
No more hate and no more hunger.
No more weapons of despair.
No more “I” and “mine” takes over
Or is spoken anywhere
Every child who lives among us
Has the right to run their course
To behold the flame within them
And to know its very Source”
Ganga Fondan, 2009
Children are such a target for all the anxious ways that we have not grasped who we are in relation to the Universe. This posting is dedicated to the Vision that we may discover clearer pathways for ourselves and thus enable our children to be powerful leaders to carry on regeneration of the world. It is meant to depict that we do not carry the light but are made from the light itself The following awe-inspiring quote is the source of the passion of this posting tonight:
"You are the spark of the blaze and the spark has all the power of the blaze to create the same blaze." - Tulshi Sen, "Ancient Secrets of Success for Today's World"
Lotus Flower, specifically the Sacred Lotus or Nelumbo nucifera. Also commonly referred to as a Water Lily, Echo Park Lake, Los Angeles, California, USA. This was taken in 2007, one of the last blooms of the original planting decades ago. The Lotus Flowers completely died out in Echo Park Lake in 2008 for unknown reasons. There were no blooms in 2008. The city is working on plans to plant them again under more favorable conditions.
These were the best lotus flowers I have seen and I am looking forward to the replacement plants.
Here is a shot of another lotus from the same lake that surprsed me with the mystical inner light they seem to posess...
It was an amazing sunny and windy morning today........
let the flowers dance....... I liked the blur that came out.....
showing their movement in the wind.
... or is it purple? The true Peonies colour is deep purple, but taking the photograph
in the worst time to take photographs (high noon with full bright sun) the colour turned
out somewhat near deep pink.
This magnolia stellata is in dedication to my little niece: Stella for her first birthday!
...Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
But you are life and you are the veil.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
But you are eternity and you are the mirror *
* Kahlil Gibran (The Prophet)
There is no postprocessing on this one, only a little cropping.
The wonderful colours of the backround are the newborn leaves of a rose.
It is time for some more kitten pics ;)
This young lady doesn't have a name yet....

The very narrow green line over the roofs is the vinyard.......I pass this wonderful little houses every day when I go on my walk (with Sulaika, our dog) into the vinyards.
You come to us
from another world
From beyond the stars
and void of space.
Transcendent, Pure,
Of unimaginable beauty,
Bringing with you
the essence of love
You transform all
who are touched by you.
Mundane concerns,
troubles, and sorrows
dissolve in your presence,
Bringing joy
to ruler and ruled
To peasant and king
You bewilder us
with your grace.
All evils
transform into
goodness.
You are the master alchemist.
You light the fire of love
in earth and sky
in heart and soul
of every being.
Through your love
existence and nonexistence merge.
All opposites unite.
All that is profane
becomes sacred again.*
