then the tantalizing peach blossoms opened in profusion ..."
 
Wang Shizhen, Seductive Spring poetry series, 1664.
i love the seductive quality of the first flowers of spring and thought to name this shot 'seductive spring' - i then searched for some words and discovered wang shizhen and fell in love with this 17th century poet's 'seductive spring' series ... xo

Its so lovely to find a new poet / musician / photographer ..and I sense that you have many hours of pleasure getting to know him more initimately. What a wonderful abstract macro flower petal to accompany it Jude .. the petal looks beautiful velvety .. and it's my favourite colour :-) I hope all is going well for you .. and that this is the start of a new and frequent series from you xooxxoxoxo

Red means romance and passion, and yes, perhaps a bit of seduction as well. :-))) You are such a tease, Jude. C'mon - I want to see more! 18 days? Perhaps I need to check the calendar...... ♥♥♥
