Sun Flower

As a photographer, I am average, at best. 

I take photos of plants and landscapes that speak to me.

What do I hear? What do they say? Only I know that I must look closer. So I do that through the camera viewfinder. I share these because somehow or other they have spell bound me. And I like that. I hope you have a similar experience.

Sun. Flower. Tell me more about the Sun and flowers.

Can’t tell the forest from the trees. Or is it the other way around–can’t tell the trees from the forest. Can’t tell.

Can’t tell the trees from the trunk and branches.

Can’t tell the trunk and branches from the leaves.

Can’t tell the leaves from the needles and cones.

Can’t tell anything…I’m lost…and happy…don’t tell.

 

The promise is yet to come

Hazelnut or filbert. At the risk of sounding too much like an oldtimer…

Once upon a time, before European mass produced chocolate became common in the United States, if you wanted chocolate with nuts, you had primarily chocolate with peanuts. Then if you took the big voyage to Europe and tried to find chocolate and peanuts…impossible.  Chocolate and nuts in Europe meant chocolate and hazelnuts. Need I say mouth watering?
