A bee buttt sticks out of this blue hibiscus flower as she goes about her daily chores. The flower has a bright red splash of color coming from behinds its steman. It lends huge contrast to the blue of the flower

A pollenator stops in at the local Tea house for a quick snack.

A black and white coneflower glows in the morning sun. It's soft shadows contrast the coming day. Accompanied by a poem by Hazel Durham called Black and White White dazzles my inner divide, Black thrown in with my unruly side, My parents wave me a lingering goodbye, They have always nurtured my childlike soul, As I try to fly from my warm nest, To accomplish and try to be the best, In a world full of colour so bold, I'm painted black and white, Standing out for all the wrong reasons, I dare to fight, I always daydream in multicolour scenes of joy, Living is a struggle with silent screams of turmoil, Stirring the concoction to the boil, As i listen to remarks that stick permanently, I try and climb to a great height, To discover a view, that I can never see, I bounce back into a fantasy of nature holding my hand, Accepting my limitations, Tasting the sweet prospect of finding words a sensation, Black and white finds the curious light, That shimmers with substance and dances across the page in ink, I cross a a wide bridge that is my link, To dissolving the empty divide, Like the certainty of the incoming tide.

"White dazzles my inner divide,
Black thrown in with my unruly side,"~Hazel Durham(Poem in Alt)

A lone dahlia looks forelorn as it knows it has bloomed and now only fade. The amber glow of the sun behind its petals. Accompanied by the Poem by William Butler Yeats called He wishes his beloved dead WERE you but lying cold and dead, And lights were paling out of the West, You would come hither, and bend your head, And I would lay my head on your breast; And you would murmur tender words, Forgiving me, because you were dead: Nor would you rise and hasten away, Though you have the will of the wild birds, But know your hair was bound and wound About the stars and moon and sun: O would, beloved, that you lay Under the dock-leaves in the ground, While lights were paling one by one.

"WERE you but lying cold and dead,
And lights were paling out of the West," ~William Butler Yeats (Poem in Alt)

Spooky black and white photo of the old Luck Baldwin estates Game house on the lake.

The old Lucky Baldwin estates always seem spooky in the fog. Are you the nightmare looking in, or is it looking at you?

A scotch marigold pales in the summer sun. Yellow and crisp in the morning air. Looking alone and scared. Accompanied by lyrics from the Slipknot song "Vermillion" "Hard to say what caught my attention Fixed and crazy, aphid attraction"

A late season Dahlia flower bursts forth looking grey and sullenly deep in thought. Accompanied by lyrics from the Slipknot song "Danger Keep Away" "That place in my mind Is that space that you call mine Where have I been all this time? Lost in sliding fatal decline"

A bright pink dahlia against a gray background. It looks like it is shy and cowering away from others. Accompanied by lyrics from Nirvana's song "Dumb" "Skin the sun, fall asleep Wish away, the soul is cheap Lesson learned, wish me luck Soothing burn, wake me up"

"Skin the sun, fall asleep
Wish away, the soul is cheap

A common zinnia pushes up for the first day of October. Fall is coming and I am leaving it says. Accompanined by a poem by Agatha Eliza called Autumn Morning A blurry morning breaks in my heart like a shy sun over a battlefield after a long absence of light and a carpet of leaves lies at my feet... 'It's Autumn again'; he said to me 'celebration of rust and copper nature's majestic symphony when colours invade the cosmos'... The lonesome path towards the woods inhabited by acorns and leaves, trees and stones-all set in harmony..you see Autumn again.

"A blurry morning breaks in my heart
like a shy sun over a battlefield
after a long absence of light"~Agatha Eliza(Autumn Morning)

Two sharp black and white dahlias look out in two different directions. They reminded me of the Daft Punk line “I don’t want any other two old friend coincidences” from Infinity Repeating

The wild anemone wildflower in black and white fills the frame and declares it is no weed. Accompanied by a poem by Jennifer Colyne Hall called She's a Wildflower You see - She's a Wildflower in a meadow of many growing in the wild She's different from any other Smiles of brightness And full of color She doesn't need attention In your well attended garden You see - She's a Wildflower in a desert of few growing in the wild She struggles to grow In places others refuse Surviving the horizons In lands not intentional She firmly plants her root You see - She's a Wildflower in a region of mixed floras growing in the wild

"You see -
She's a Wildflower
in a meadow of many
growing in the wild" ~Jennifer Colyne Hall

A radiant marigold emerges from the summer storms to put forth the sun it has collected all summer long. Accompanied by a poem by Jodde Taylor called Marigold Oh wondrous sun, you melt me with your gazes this light shinning brings a day within a day Oh how beauty runs away with each thought of you Your touch is a helpless tomorrow As I rise just to see you again You bring every fascination And beneath you, a burden, is effortless Oh the night, waves over me gently the breeze kisses, each rising star How this evenings sight pours over me Your golden whistle, I hear calling me As I return to you again The rain shall never sound the same....

"Oh wondrous sun,
you melt me with your gazes
this light shining
brings a day within a day"~ Jodde Taylor

Peach dahlia flowers fill the frame making me hungry. accompanied by a poem by Elinor Morton Wylie called Wild Peaches Stanza 1 Elinor Morton Wylie Elinor Morton Wylie Somerville, New Jersey follow poet Poet's Page Poems More Next Poem 53 / 53 Previous Poem Wild Peaches Rating: ★2.9 ♡ Autoplay 1 When the world turns completely upside down You say we'll emigrate to the Eastern Shore Aboard a river-boat from Baltimore; We'll live among wild peach trees, miles from town, You'll wear a coonskin cap, and I a gown Homespun, dyed butternut's dark gold colour. Lost, like your lotus-eating ancestor, We'll swim in milk and honey till we drown. The winter will be short, the summer long, The autumn amber-hued, sunny and hot, Tasting of cider and of scuppernong; All seasons sweet, but autumn best of all. The squirrels in their silver fur will fall Like falling leaves, like fruit, before your shot.

"Aboard a river-boat from Baltimore;
We'll live among wild peach trees, miles from town" ~Elinor Morton Wylie
