Wishing You a Happy Easter Break!

Fireworks

My neighbour across the road loves these flowers and he has these growing on his front yard. You could say he is a bit obsessed with these. Like I had another neighbour down the road and he was crazy about roses. He has passed now. No more roses on that yard unfortunately...
 
Looks like the grevillea is 'fireworking' in this image, eh? Or maybe it is just little matchsticks reaching out to you? In some ways it seems to be spinning... Or is it just my eyes..?

Please pat me, says the flower

What about this little one... Doesn't it look like a dog wanting a pat really badly? It seems I am projecting animal elements on my flower images nowadays... Maybe it is the art therapy's effect on me - free association and flow of thoughts to figure out what is going on in my mind. Here we come Freud, you old bugger!

Not the usual angle

Sometimes a new angle to the same old, same old is worth taking. The gerbera from underneath looks very elegant, I think. It makes me think of Russian women in the 1980's, Audrey Hepburn and tribal celebrations. Almost simultaneously. Go figure.

Another bud

Here is an image of a flower that does not exist anymore. The rain tainted this one. It fell on the ground and that was it. Gone. But in this picture it is still very much alive, looking very fleshy and powerful. Very red with a sharp bud coming out.

Ghost

Here we go. A ghost from my garden! But not really a scary one - just a bit funny. A ghost that is trying to be scary but does not really make it!!

Darling Buds of Autumn

We had a break from the rain today. It was really good. I am going for a walk with a friend in 15 minutes. It has been probably three weeks since our last walk. Mostly because of the rain. How we all wish it would stop now. Especially the people who live in flood areas.

I just love buds. The wait. What will actually come out. These buds have white, fuzzy stars inside them.
