I was curious how the Bear Sunflower would look in black and white.
View more images in the pale as well as in color via this temporary sunflower gallery. Enjoy!
too pretty to eat?

That thought crossed my mind for a split second as I walked through the Copley Square Farmers Market this past Friday. The afternoon light was striking the fruits, vegetables and flowers in such a way that they become culinary art.
And there is no question that the vendors from the various farms know how to display their wares.
Though I could not pause to purchase anything it was a visual delight and welcome moment of calm to walk the square. I’m looking forward to next week.
simple gifts

Last night, a very young friend gave me a gift. A long-stemmed sunflower with a very bear-y name. I told her that I was going to photograph it. “Why?” she asked, as little friends of that age ask quite often. “Why are you going to photograph it?” I told her so that I could share the beauty of her gift with others. And so here it is.
I took its picture throughout the day, as the sun shone through different windows, striking the many petals in many different ways.
It even seemed to bow its head as I moved it around the room as if to say, “Oh, yes, please do put me into the sun’s warm rays.”
At last I put it back upon its perch on a table covered with fellow plants. There it sits awaiting a new day of light to fall upon its form. Perhaps I’ll take its picture yet again.
blooms by the roadside

There’s a wooded path near my house that takes about five minutes to walk in one direction. It is amazing what’s to be found in such a short length.

a glorious morning indeed

I’ve been admiring the morning glories in my landlord’s garden for a while now. Amazing how those vines progress across the yard and how the colors of the flowers morph over time.
Not sure why but today I felt compelled to slip into the garden with a pair of scissors.
Stealthy though I felt, the landlord doesn’t mind anyone cutting a bloom or two.
I may have cut a few more than that.
Handling the blooms, photographing them … it was a nice way to start the day. Hope you have a good day too. 😉
it was the flutter of a wing …

… that caught my eyes and made me pause as I raced across the Public Garden. Already late for a meeting, I had had no intentions of pausing or pulling out my camera. But how could I not as I looked more closely at what lay before me?
