… something about this morning’s light in the pale petals and against the dark leaves reminded me of both dawn and sunset come together.

I wasn’t sure it would survive the winter. Some of the leaves are not in great shape, but peeking out this morning were these buds.

bizarre beauty

Last summer, a large bee and I had an altercation in the kitchen. In short, it could not manage to exit out the window through which it had entered and so it now rests in a jar, frozen in time, quite beautiful, I think, if a little macabre. Off and on, I have tried photographing the creature but nothing clicked until yesterday when the sun shone “just right.” Flowers both real and artificial reflected on the surface of the jar. The bee’s wings glowed with iridescent light. Factoring in curvature and irregular thickness of the glass … well, it was a sight that made me grab my camera.
The biologist in me is kind of curious what will happen over time, but likely what will is happen is that later this spring I will bury the bee in a pot full of flowers or maybe under that big oak tree. We’ll see …
guess what?

… I didn’t notice anything. I didn’t even take a peek at the plant. I took it for granted what must be in the pot.
It wasn’t until I descended the stairs with eyes wider open. That was when I noticed the bloom.
It had not been there yesterday of that I am sure because I remember glancing at the plant and wondering how much longer it would survive. I had looked but I hadn’t paid attention. I hadn’t even noticed the bud.
It was an inspiring sight to start off the day.

It is a sad title but it has been a beautiful journey. An unexpected gift from a friend of a bouquet of tulips with encouragement to photograph its form. And so I have over the past couple of weeks. But these may be the final images, I think, pink petals resting in a gold goblet catching the last of winter’s light.
