    Beautiful photo–I love the way the flower is lighted. I also enjoy how you change your page header (right word?) periodically.

      Kathy, thanks for the nice feedback. I’ve been fiddling with the header ever since I came back from my break, and I think I finally found one to stick with for at least a couple of weeks. I’m glad you enjoy the variety. :)

  8. My favourite flower. It’s beautiful.

      Wendy, I think you just have to take a lot of pictures. Then you can throw out all the ones that don’t capture the light to your satisfaction. ;)

    I’m having a bit of fun
    before you kick me out
    and send me on the run

    simplicity sophistication
    wow now that is what I call two
    sophistication simplicity
    those are not hard for me to do

    Simplicity is when
    I cook out back
    I like my ribs done
    not burnt or black
    My neighbor wont mine,
    till he gets out of the pen
    Hack I’ll have his cooker
    back in his yard, by then
    My washing I’ll hang on
    that old cloths line
    you won’t catch me using a dryer
    for I’m plume out of dimes

    sophistication now that I have,
    no matter what the others say
    I never go anywhere without my
    snot rag in my pocket on display
    I keep my pinky stuck out
    If I’m pouring you gin
    And I only use my shirt tail
    When wiping my chin
    So it’s simple to see
    Not everyone can be
    A sophistication simpleton like me

    Did I say that last line right????

      LOL, Ellis, a “sophistication simpleton,” huh? Good for you for drying your clothes out in the fresh air. That’s getting to be the chic choice, you know, for environmental reasons. Soon all the best houses will be hanging clotheslines from the trees (at least, that’s my hope).

      What is “sophisticated” by cultural standards changes so much over time. “Snot rags” used to be all the rage — only they were called handkerchiefs. ;)
