Perhaps so, har har! Oddly enough I was thinking about prison when I wrote it. The top photo made me think of it. I don’t know exactly why. I think I was thinking of a “column of blooms” as inmates, almost crushed together, marching in a circle around a hot, dusty court, and despising the sunlight, which seemed to be smiling in shrewd mockery, its sharp light boring into the spine of men like a lumbar puncture. Somehow, I suspect this idea is lost in the poem’s obscurity, though 😉 and the images being literally botanical, only enhances that obscurity. The places one’s mind goes scuttling off to, sometimes. Thank you for the excellent comment and for sluicing by! Jubilant cheers to you,
That’s fantastic. I should take more time for your work.
😉
Thanks so much! Too kind. Many smiling cheers to you,

Beautiful, so still in their essence!
Aye! I thought so too! Grateful these were enjoyed. Thank you for cascading by. Smiling cheers,

My pleasure
A bodaciously wonderful post. Amazing what the Nikon D40 can do for older technology.
Aye, and with a simple little lens as well. Thank you for the fantastic comment Sir. Myriad cheers,

Painful but perhaps ultimately better for the blooms? Nice work. =)

What a beautiful way you have of describing everything you see around you AJ and what a talent you have! Stunning captures and post. Love it! 😀
You are so kind, thank you! I was certainly in an abstract mindset for this one! 😀
