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.
i must confess …

… it was an impulse buy. I had traveled to my local grocery store with a specific list of items to purchase. Prickly pears were not on that list. And yet as I passed by that basket of fruit …
… I guess the overhead lights struck the skin in such a way that I was reminded of iridescent glass. How could I resist such a display?
And yes, if I look close enough, I still see stars in a night sky. Perhaps an aurora. 😉

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. 😉

A poinsettia sits in the kitchen window, a holiday gift still providing much pleasure.

The interior of several white tulips. As I’ve written before, tulips were not always my favorite flowers. But now it is with pleasure I buy a bouquet, their heads tightly closed, and wait just a few days for the blossoms to open, revealing the subtle hues shading their centers.

Next year, if I am lucky enough to meander through the Copley Square Farmers Market each week, I will try to talk with the farmers. To learn more about what they farm and why, and how they choose what produce to display in which city squares and why. The last one of this season in Copley Square will take place Tuesday November 20th from 11:00 am – 6:00 pm. If you’re in the neighborhood, enjoy!
