A Beautiful Orchid in Bloom

 

 

The Nature of This Flower is to bloom.
- Alice Walker

Nature Will Bear the Closest Inspection

 Nature will bear the closest inspection.  She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.  ~Henry David Thoreau


This is my re-interpretation of Henry David Thoreau’s wonderful quote and this theme occurs regularly in my garden, especially when I take my morning walks to see what is happening.
Sometimes I get beautiful flowers to greet me during my morning walks.




A new leaf unfurls into the world, reaching for the sky with its beautifully colored foliage.






Other times I get some amazing fruit that I can harvest and even share with friends when there’s abundance, right now I have hundreds of avocados on my tree and having been sharing with all my friends here.

 

All of this I see everyday in my garden, when I take the time to visit and closely see these treasures unveil themselves to me.

Words That Inspire – My Interpretation

A flower touches everyone's heart.

Georgia O'Keefe 

I’ve always been attracted to Georgia O’Keefe’s paintings of her landscapes and flowers. Intense colors and shapes that lead viewers to many interpretations, seductive and vivid.

The sensuous lines and curves appeal to feminine desires or imaginary whims.







White is so pure and yet so seductive.







The broad brush strokes evoke desire and the fine lines give intimate details, makes me tingle…






The shocking colors, textures and dramatic shapes do suggest.





A flower does touch everyone’s heart and maybe even more intensely. Georgia was not a prude with her passions!
