I photographed this scene in the early afternoon light while visiting Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, FL. I love all the stems and beautiful vibrant flowers as the sun highlighted them.
Orion plants his left, then swings through with his right as he executes a turn while running free at full speed on scent in the forest near my home...
Weather-wise, the day was nice. While January was mostly cloudy and gloomy with drizzle, we've been remarkably snow-free, so far. I'll take it. One good day is one less chance for a bad one. The rest of the week looks more like a typical February, our worst Winter month for cold, snow and ice storms.
These beautiful dainty florets are the first to bloom on a tiny succulent plant bought last year.Is already large enought to fill a big pot and has about 20 babies formed all producing a stem like this,ready to give away to friends.Have kept it soft as i love this effect on this one.May make it into a picture for the bedroom.

Flower stems and leaf stems, that all stemmed from the garden, all sitting in a long stemmed wine glass.

Surely one of the most alien-looking plants on the planet!

Painting my kitchen today, "French Blue", which is probably an inappropriate color for a kitchen, but we like it.
Have a good weekend, and I will check your photos soon!
Onion flowers stalks not only stems, it is delicious vegetables are very Favorite of our country...!
Last night I was privileged to attend a lecture by prominent African American educator, advocate and mathematician Freeman Hrabowski III. His appearance was part of a yearly lecture series sponsored by the wife of the late Senator Mark O. Hatfield.
Hrabowski spoke about his journey as a young child in Alabama listening to Dr. Martin Luther King speak, marching for civil rights and being jailed at 12 years old. How his first name stems from the first "free man" born in his family and his last denoting the last name of his families ancestral Polish slave owner Hrabowski. He is now President of one of the most successful research universities in the country, served as the chair for an Obama advisory committee, and speaks around the world about bringing diversity and equality to STEM (Science/Technology/Engineering/Math) research. He's a rare mix of supreme intelligence and personality to match.
The lecture and the stats he provided made me think about my trip to South Carolina and my first encounter with that dark part of US history. This photo is of the historic slave cabins that still reside at Boone Plantation in Mt. Pleasant. We heard unfiltered stories about the brutal living conditions, inhumane treatment, and how many slaves didn't even survive the arduous trip to the US. A lot has changed since then, but the systemic problems still exist....even in institutions of higher learning.
Hrabowski ended his lecture with this, "“Watch your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your character, and your character become your destiny!” Inspiring words from an inspiring person.
