Beyond the Veil of Darkness
No moonlight illuminated the paths this night
The blackness appeared more intense like that of rich velvet
Yet I knew something waited just beyond
Their scent was heightened by the their lack of visual beauty
I knew what I would find, but I did not know just as the blackness appeared more intense this night, so to were their colors
In previous years I’ve ventured out after dark
Please take a moment to see what past forays have revealed
After the Rain and into the Garden
Take a moment after a summer’s rain to step out into the garden
Close your eyes and take a deep breath
Imagine what you will see
Beauty? Perfection? Exquisiteness?
Chrysanthemum – Autumn’s Smile
Colors of the sunset
Brightening hidden areas of the gardens
An amalgamation of bits and pieces
Different and unique while surprising similar
Parroting
Every garden has corners, alcoves, hidden recesses
Vignettes only appreciated from unusual perspectives
Plantings that make your heart leap
Flowers that are coveted
My small planting of Parrot Tulips makes my heart leap and fills me with pride that they continue to survive
