I knew it was going to be a long day of traveling from site to site, and so I told a friend that I would send him dispatches from the road.
Instead, I find myself choosing to share some dispatches from the kitchen as part of a quick coffee break. 
Okay, a last sip, and then back out into the day. Have a good one, folks. 😉

It was the beauty of the artwork on the covers of fantasy and sci-fi novels that used to draw my attention in bookstores. So many of the illustrations depicted a cloaked figure, partially illuminated. And then there’s my growing interest in stained glass windows. The figures in them, whether peasant or angel, wear luminous robes in a rainbow of colors. With such inspirations in my life, how could I not see a cloaked figure as I zoomed in on this orchid?

This orchid was the inspiration for a poem that will be published next month. Stay tuned. Meanwhile, I have in my sights a lovely orange nasturtium blossom. We’ll see if any words are sparked by its beauty. 😉

Across town, in hotel lobbies and mall (indoor) courtyards, orchids are brightening my day.
