tiger swallowtail
adrift on red petaled sea
unfurling its sails ...

happy to see you, my sweet honey bee,
five species of bumblebees are gone now,
looked out my window, and what did i see,
this golden insect, in a graceful bow ...

An April but begun -- ..."

i've taken 3,375 photos with my sony dsc-n1 and have easily tossed around 2k into the trash ... tomorrow my sister is having an opening for a show featuring her watercolor paintings - which are awesome, biased or not ...

another excellent spring day ... spent time with my sisters while they were hanging paintings for one of my sister's art openings this saturday ... and then i walked a few miles and shot macros along the way ...

this watercolor sunflower did rush
from brush to scanner with the greatest ease
and softly whispered "flickr" in a hush
"now put me on your weblog if you please!"

and when i saw this flower on my walk,
the pure romance of petals drew me in,
i held my breath, as if to hear it talk,
of some sweet secrets sealed softly within.

"who cleaned my clock?!" the dandelion cried
"twas quite the shock to find my pappi flown!
you'll never know how very hard i tried
to keep my calyx anchored 'til full-blown!"

spring littered sidewalk
not another flower face?
blue skies in her eyes

in the gentle breeze
nascent fern and trillium
fairy garden friends

cabochon jewel
nestled in golden petals
small detail of spring ...

this curly-faced daffodil winked at me
"i'm flickr-flavored eye candy" it said,
"now write a one-verse sonnet and you'll see,
how quickly you can blog this from your bed!"

"It's here or Mars!" i heard a neighbor say
"Let's tidy up the planet, make it last."
naive, i thought, continuing my day
(but if we're gonna do it, let's be fast!)

a year ago i blogged this dogwood tree -
with blossoms floating high above the ground -
in bloom again, it's pretty as can be,
my flickr sharing mojo i've re-found!
