“I can’t live where I want to, I can’t go where I want to go, I can’t do what I want to, I can’t even say what I want to. I decided I was a very stupid fool not to at least paint as I wanted to.” – Georgia O’Keeffe.
I’m exhausted today; it began at 4 a.m. and continues. I wonder if I’m getting older. Gee! Could that be possible? I’m getting stupid as well.
I look forward to seeing you in the morning. Maria danced as a witch today with her wonderful dancing group. I’ve got photos to show you in the morning. I consider my wife a good witch; she is certainly witchy. She even designed her own witch clothes. The march and dance was to honor a woman accused of witchcraft in Vermont in 1795. She survived the trial and the test.
Pictures to come, I’m just out of juice this evening. Some days keep on coming. I did squeeze some flower art in.
I wasn’t that tired.
Well…yes, you are getting older…..aren’t we all? No big surprise! You’ve had an event filled and challenging week…..it’s OK to be tired and *feel* old….even though…..it’s just being tired and worn out- omit the *old*. I’m running out of adjectives to describe your flower photos….and I consider myself (in my youth I was a spelling bee/word bee/grammar champion) to be somewhat of a wordsmith…….. but I think this batch…..I would say..are sublime. Rest up, Jon…and take your sabbath!

I’m running out of superlatives that all these pictures have deserved . I’d still like to say , the colors are just stop-you-in-your-tracks amazing, the textures being brought so close into focus transport me into the photo , and the attitudes and personalities that come alive for us – you’ve developed such a mastery and made this field uniquely your own . I’m always so interested to see where you’ll bring us next.
Thanks so much, Diane. I had a very good morning photo-wise, and I’m eager to post them later today. I appreciate your encouragement; it matters.
Jon, not only beautiful to take photos of these flowers but to actually grow them.
