An open variegated pink and white parrot tulip, with curling edges. A stamen is visible in the center behind the front petal. There's green and gold foliage in the background.

A high-contrast, black and white photograph of a garden covered in a fresh layer of deep snow. A tall, dark conifer tree stands on the left, contrasting with a large, bright, snow-laden oak tree on the right. A garden table and chairs are visible on the right, dusted with snow. The scene is quiet and bright under a solid grey sky.

Let it Snow!
We havenโ€™t had any snow yet this winter apart from some brief flurries but this was the view from my window a few years back.

Looking over the trees in the distance at the clouds. Just above the tree tops the clouds are a dark gray and then peach, an area of slate blue and pink clouds above.

A pink hollyhock blossom and greenery. Another blossom is partially visible behind it.

Camera: iPhone 15 Pro. 

September 2025. Gamble Garden.

Edgar Albert Guest's poem "Hollyhock."

Old-fashioned flowers! I love them all:
The morning-glories on the wall,
The pansies in their patch of shade,
The violets, stolen from a glade,
The bleeding hearts and columbine,
Have long been garden friends of mine;
But memory every summer flocks
About a clump of hollyhocks.

The mother loved them years ago;
Beside the fence they used to grow,
And though the garden changed each year
And certain blooms would disappear
To give their places in the ground
To something new that mother found,
Some pretty bloom or rosebush rareโ€”
The hollyhocks were always there.

It seems but yesterday to me
She led me down the yard to see
The first tall spires, with bloom aflame,
And taught me to pronounce their name.
And year by year I watched them grow,
The first flowers I had come to know.
And with the mother dear I'd yearn
To see the hollyhocks return.

The garden of my boyhood days
With hollyhocks was kept ablaze;
In all my recollections they
In friendly columns nod and sway;
And when to-day their blooms I see,
Always the mother smiles at me;
The mind's bright chambers, life unlocks
Each summer with the hollyhocks.

The image shows four rows of students, one row seated against a brick facade with arches. All are men, except for the women seen in the first standing row.

Year: 1971

For #ColorADay #BWFri, here is a photo, though I am not the photographer, but a subject!

The 1971 batch of Electronics and Communication (ECE) students included seven girls. I am at the end on the right.
My book on engineering women, "Roots and Wings," included it.

Thick old growth forest with no path. Foreground in partial view a textured tree trunk with ivy growing up the side of it. Moss & ivy covered trees mid frame breathing with the moisture in the air. The forest floor is heavily covered with ferns, ivy and fallen reddish leaves. There is no end in sight just heaps of trees and fresh air.

Black and white photograph of a bright full moon partially obscured by wispy, textured clouds. Bare, white-gray tree branches frame the top and bottom of the image, their skeletal forms creating a stark contrast against the dark, moody sky. The moonโ€™s light creates a luminous halo effect through the cloud cover.
