“I dreamt -- marvellous error! -- that I had a beehive here inside my heart. And the golden bees were making white combs and sweet honey from my old failures.”
Antonio Machado
"An artist is an artist only because of his exquisite sense of beauty, a sense which shows him intoxicating pleasures, but which at the same time implies and contains an equally exquisite sense of all deformities and all disproportion."
Charles Baudelaire
On this photo I had a two second exposure, at an f-stop 5.6, 80mm lens going north on Vine passing Santa Monica blvd in L.A. about 8:15 pm. I was also making the camera bounce up and down going about 20 miles an hour, attached on a bracket mounted to my driver door handle pointing out the side drivers window, I liked the effect also.
Days of wine and roses laugh and run away, like a child at play.

"As for the garden of mint, the very smell of it alone recovers and refreshes our spirits, as the taste stirs up our appetite for meat,"
Pliny
[Tigerella, Oregano & Mint]
TIGERELLA TOMATO (Solanum lycopersicum) is an English heritage variety grown most often in the glass or green house. It is perhaps the prettiest of the small salad types you can grow. The fruit are just 2" across. Their coloration is red with orange streaks. It is productive, starting early and continuing even after the weather cools. So this is a great choice for market specialty growers as it displays well.

I have been to London a few times and have visited all the famous icons and tourist spots, so I wanted to explore the gardens in the spring time. Found Queen Mary's Garden just the ideal place to spend the morning.
Queen Mary's Rose Gardens in Regents Park grows 400 different varieties of roses in separate and mixed beds. In all there are some 30,000 rose plants within the Rose Gardens, creating an amazing display of colour when they bloom and making it the largest collection of roses in London.
The Rose Gardens are in the Queen Mary Gardens of the park, which is often called the Inner Circle by locals.
"Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first."
Ernestine Ulmer
“I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.”

"The rose is red, the leaves are green,
God save Elizabeth, our noble queen."
Anonymous ( Lines written by a Westminster schoolboy in the margin of his copy of Julius Caesar. Quoted in P. W. Hasler (ed) The House of Commons,1558-1603 (vol.1), p.474.)
"Green indeed is the colour of lovers..."

"Red is one of the strongest colors, it's blood, it has a power with the eye. That's why traffic lights are red I guess, and stop signs as well... In fact I use red in all of my paintings."
Keith Haring
"So we grew together
Like to a double cherry, seeming parted,
But yet an union in partition,
Two lovely berries moulded on one stem."

So lets spend the rest of it; slow and steady.”

"Still lie the sheltering snows, undimmed and white;
And reigns the winter's pregnant silence still;
No sign of spring, save that the catkins fill,
And willow stems grow daily red and bright.
These are days when ancients held a rite
Of expiation for the old year's ill,
And prayer to purify the new year's will."
Helen Hunt Jackson, A Calendar of Sonnet's: February
"In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood had as iron,
Water like a stone,
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter,
Long ago."
Christina Rossetti

"I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those
Who will come after us
This time...
I'm just a dreamer
I dream my life away oh yeah
I'm just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days..."

"Lilacs,
False blue,
White,
Purple,
Color of lilac,
You have forgotten your Eastern origin,
The veiled women with eyes like panthers,
The swollen, aggressive turbans of jeweled pashas.
Now you are a very decent flower,
A reticent flower,
A curiously clear-cut, candid flower,
Standing beside clean doorways,
Friendly to a house-cat and a pair of spectacles,
Making poetry out of a bit of moonlight
And a hundred or two sharp blossoms...
You are brighter than apples,
Sweeter than tulips,
You are the great flood of our souls
Bursting above the leaf-shapes of our hearts,
You are the smell of all Summers,
The love of wives and children,
The recollection of gardens of little children...
May is a green as no other,
May is much sun through small leaves,
May is soft earth,
And apple-blossoms,
And windows open to a South Wind.
May is full light wind of lilac
From Canada to Narragansett Bay."
Amy Lowell, Lilacs

This black and white photograph, taken with an Otus lens, captures an electronic logbook used for trucking. The image showcases the impressive bokeh and depth of field characteristics of the Otus lens, which brings a strikingly beautiful quality to the scene. The focus is on a narrow part of the logbook, with the surrounding elements gently blurred, highlighting the detailed craftsmanship and sharpness for which the Otus lens is renowned. The overall composition provides an artistic view of a utilitarian object, elevating its visual appeal.

A candid portrait in the Sunset Ceremonial,Ottawa Canada
This is the most 'natural' space anywhere near where I live so I often find myself drawn to taking pictures of it. For this shot I applied a very sharp treatment to it with Photoshop to give it a super realism
“Decadence is a difficult word to use since it has become little more than a term of abuse applied by critics to anything they do not yet understand or which seems to differ from their moral concepts.”
Ernest Hemingway
"When the decadence attacks a nature naturally proud and selfish and vain, and lacking both the aptitude and habit of self-restraint, the development of the disease is more swift, and ranges to farther limits."
Brem Stoker
A compelling black and white street photograph captured through decorative iron railings in St Peter's Square, Manchester. The ornate metalwork creates a natural frame in the foreground, with the blurred figures of passing pedestrians creating dynamic movement through the composition. In the sharp focus beyond, a man with glasses and backpack walks purposefully through the urban plaza, while the architectural backdrop of Manchester's civic buildings provides context. This layered composition demonstrates the photographer's eye for using urban infrastructure as compositional elements, transforming functional street furniture into artistic framing devices that add depth and visual interest to the street scene.
"A garden is a complex of aesthetic and plastic intentions; and the plant is, to a landscape artist, not only a plant - rare, unusual, ordinary or doomed to disappearance - but it is also a color, a shape, a volume or an arabesque in itself."
Roberto Burle Marx
"Flowers are those little colorful beacons of the sun from which we get sunshine when dark, somber skies blanket our thoughts."
(www.dodinsky.com)
"I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers."
Claude Monet
