Just vellum, a flower and a ray of sunlight.

I was not very keen on pink as a child, probably because I was forced to wear it far too often. Now I am more appreciative of this color especially as it appears in nature. These are the petals of a ranunculus flower.
tornado or …?

I was staring at this picture I’d taken of a daffodil, trying to figure out its name, when that fellow in my life walked by and said, “That looks like a tornado,” and then he walked on. What do you see? 😉
emerald?

Not sure this nasturtium leaf is emerald, Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2013, but I think it is a lovely shade of green just the same. And it is very tasty, in fact peppery, sprinkled on top of salads. 😉

upon a pale field

The name of the plant I do not know. Its cost was $2.48. I know that because the label is still on the side of the little plastic pot. I have never replanted it. I sometimes forget to water it and then when I do I sometimes drown it but it is a succulent and that seems to be okay.
I have tucked it in a very, very sunny corner. Perhaps for that reason it forgives my neglect and on occasion produces these magnificent pale blooms on pencil thin stalks that I snip and place in an old spice jar. I’ve been photographing them against a background of white vellum.
We’ll see what the rest of the winter holds, if new blooms will emerge. Meanwhile, I’ll try to show my appreciation by buying some soil later today so I can replant this (and several more) plants later in the week. 😉

Thanks for the positive comments about the recent tulip pictures. I did not expect to photograph them again today … it is quite rainy with little natural light coming through the window. But then on a whim I picked up a flashlight and that experience has been rather fun.
Since this storm system will be around for a bit, we’ll see how this “flashlight series” progresses.
