I’m experimenting every day with my camera and learning as I go. I promised myself that every season, I would learn more, experiment more, and get better. The journey is still out; it’s early in the season, but I’m off to an exciting start, trying to capture the true beauty of flowers, which has to do with our souls. I’m signing off tonight.
Maria is in a belly dancing class, and I’ve got a new mystery to read and watch on my iPhone. For dinner, I’m making chicken and vegetable dumplings.
I had another wonderful hour with my Zoom blog readers, who are now friends. We had a spirited discussion about the creative spark. I like what the Kabbalah says: God gave all of us the creative spark, and it is a sin not to light it.
Good night; I’ll see you in the morning. In the morning, I’m packing backpacks at the pantry, then back at work and back home.
The flowers speak for themselves, and I used too many in the pictures to try to identify them all. You gardeners and flower lovers are welcome to try it. I know one is a Carra/Zud, Bip mix. The tulips, of course, are obvious, even to me.
Your photos, Jon, are becoming more and more inspiring! I am enjoying your photographic journey!!
Thank you
your photographs are always beautiful…..withstanding your new technique experiments…….i hardly even notice that anymore (or try to discern differences…………is that a bad thing?)…….but just zone in on the color and light……which is enough for me. Bring it on!

FLOWER POWER:
sunlight, water, growth,
unfurling those petals,
getting ready for their moment,
on the viewing stage,
beckoning to the pollinators,
to do their time honored magic,
a day or two in perfection,
and then winding down their life force,
but never forgotten.
