How one walks through the world,
the endless small adjustments of balance,
is affected by the shifting weights
of beautiful things.
~Elaine Scarry
A beautiful thing,
though simple in its immediate presence,
always gives us a sense of
depth below depth,
almost an innocent wild vertigo
as one falls through its levels.
~Frederick Turner

What a wonderful quiet riot of colors in these lovely photos, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteAn enjoyable fall into beauty and color.
ReplyDeleteI have not visited your blog for a while and really like your new format. Is the woman in the background you? It is charming – giving a feeling of “élan“ – I am not sure what it is, going to jump into a pool or doing yoga? In any case it is very nice. Your group of flowers is lovely – I am partial to the one before the last one, the mauve flowers – stunning.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers! On these final summery days I cherish the plants that are still blooming. I love those 2 quotations too.
ReplyDeleteDrowning in these lovely concentrations of basket flowers. Those are very difficult shots. I tried and haven't managed at all.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love how the first image turned out.
ReplyDeleteFantastic. The photo of the white flowers made me say wow. lol
