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.

fallen leaves and blossoms

As I was racing around this morning, I realized that one of the orchid plants had dropped two leaves while the second plant had dropped a leaf as well. New leaves grew on both so they still hang on but I suspect I’ve been too free with the watering pail.
As I gathered the leaves I could not help but notice the lovely colors and textures of their dying flesh.
And then I remembered that when their blossoms had fallen earlier in the summer, I’d collected them in a small dish to see what might happen to the petals over time. Out of sight, out of mind … but I found the dish and this is what the petals look like.
