Their owner shall pick them up tomorrow, but I still have access to them today.

What happened is this: a friend forgot her birthday flowers. They sit in a sky blue vase in Steve’s kitchen catching the morning light.

And so I have this unique opportunity, until their owner’s return, to photograph many pretty petals, in black and white and in color.

during my travels
of all the herbs and plants left behind
the marigold alone did not survive
except
there is a single blossom
autumnal orange with patches of gold
broken off I suppose as its green stem dried
that blossom it still thrives
without water or soil yet warmed by the sun
at rest where I found it upon returning home
on the tabletop next to the kitchen window
we’ll see how long it lasts

That is the music that I happened to be listening to as I downloaded these images, of morning light falling upon the African violets in the kitchen. Not a bad way to start the week. Have a good one, folks.

My herbs aren’t doing so well, but the African Violets in their little nook in the kitchen … wow! 😉
