A yellow Mexican prickly poppy. The pretty flower above the spiky leaves. Pain and pleasure. "He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends."~Oscar Wilde

Black and white macro photo of a rose. It blooms asymetrically. More on one side than the other. I makes it look off balance. Poem included "There's Always Tomorrow, To get your things done, But, Time I cannot borrow, I used it all up, And now I have, none."~Sandra Feldman

Macro photo of a fully open giant poppy flower center with a bee busy inside doing her job buzzily. Joined with lyrics form Duran Duran's "Careless Memories" "So soon Just after you've gone My senses sharpen But it always takes So damned long Before I feel how much My eyes have darkened"

Poem Inclided "Constant Change" by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal Life is movement Constant move with improvement Some changes at regular interval Everything changes at some good arrival Why βupsβ are preferred? And βdownβ shivered Why do we look at highest peak? And to look down always weak No one wants to adjust No one has in fact real trust Think of abut being equal in all the respects Who would have respected natureβs act? Why does sun rise in time? Why earth rotates around many times? Each one is assigned with essential function No one is allowed to stop at any junction Life is move and can not be stopped Death and lifeβs reality is to be only probed One should think about oneβs own position Life and nature may stand at nice composition Old things make place for new one New one makes room for fresh one It goes on until decay takes over The life need constant change and cover
"Old things make place for new one
New one makes room for fresh one
It goes on until decay takes over
The life need constant change and cover"~Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

A lone snowy egret alights on a roof peaks of a Chinese temple. Patiently waiting for the crowds to leave the garden so it can go fishing undisturbed. "After Love" by Sara Teasdale There is no magic any more, We meet as other people do, You work no miracle for me Nor I for you. You were the wind and I the sea - There is no splendor any more, I have grown listless as the pool Beside the shore. But though the pool is safe from storm And from the tide has found surcease, It grows more bitter than the sea, For all its peace.
"You were the wind and I the sea -
There is no splendor any more," Sara Teasdale

A pink cheery blossom macro shot. Its petals stretch out. The pink so light that it is only visible where overlap. "Spring Will Soon Arrive" by DM W The wind is roaring Like an angry god. Yet soon Kind spring will arrive, And she will bring myriad Wondrous things like hope, & colour & warmth to the Weary, withered earth. I perceive her healing light Glowing so softly, Like an old, expected friend, In the blue distance. O she will shortly return!
"Weary, withered earth.
I perceive her healing light
Glowing so softly,
Like an old, expected friend"~DM W

This copper one with its green patina is from The Huntington library's Japanese Garden in San MArino California. "Anger and Patience" by Patti Masterman Any time I don't understand something Or feel unhappy with the way things are going, Anger steps up, 'use me; let me help' And I used to give Anger a lot of free rein, Till I noticed Anger wasn't all that useful And generally tended to only make things worse. Now I try to rely more on 'Patience' As Patience doesn't keep clicking that counter, Adding up every resentment of the hour. Besides, I can look straight into Patience's face And not have one clue what Patience is thinking of. You know, Anger could learn something from that.
"Any time I don't understand something
Or feel unhappy with the way things are going,
Anger steps up, 'use me; let me help'
And I used to give Anger a lot of free rein, "~Patti Masterman

A yellow orange dahlia fills the frame. Moisture glistening on its outer petals. Its orange center glowing like the sun. Its yellow corona shining in the suns rays. "You Fill My Soul with Sunshine" by David Harris. You fill my soul with sunshine my heart with tender care. You fill my world with happiness knowing that you are always there Every waking hour is filled with your love that I feel Iβve been blessed with an angel from above There are no words enough to express the way I feel knowing that this heart will never feel no ill. This old world may go on, being crazier every day. However, I have the inner warmth of knowing you fill my soul with sunshine each and every day.
"You fill my soul with sunshine
my heart with tender care.
You fill my world with happiness
knowing that you are always there" ~David Harris

A California Grey squirrel sits in contemplation in the parking lot of the Los Angeles Arboretum. Perhaps it is trying to remember where it parked.
