Good point. I can see that.

Nice segue between observations of Keiffer pear flowers and the modest rue anemone; the latter plant’s leaves always look very 2-dimensional to me, as if they are stamped from sheets of bulk leaf.

I like most flowers bettwe in the florescent (hmm) colors they show under a cloudy sky….

Peter – Glad you liked it. Actually, I almost regard this as a weakness of mine, that I am so dependent on strong closers for the effect of my writing. I would like to write more poems, especially, that get away from that.

Cady May – Very glad to hear that this blog goes well with coffee (shade grown, I hope)!

Lucy – Thanks. You’re right, of course; it’s just that they’re easier to ignore — and sphynx moths, for example, like the hummingbirds they resemble, seem somehow a lot more poetic than bees, wasps and flies.

Really nice, great balance, as Peter said, between entertainment and information. Loved the last thing about the flower and the face.
But gardens at night are full of insect assisted sex acts, surely, with moths etc? More so later in the year I suppose.

thanks as always for the verbal images
Is that what reading coffee over blogs is? silently warming up the mental engines before take off? My camera is charged, I’m outa here.

I always said you were a great closer. I love the last two sentences.

But you got the ball with a ten-run lead. I love being informed and entertained at the same time. The top photo is just marvelous. Thanks for listening to Teju’s request for more B&W.
