corner view ≈ flora

2012, ghent, ham, hollyhock growing up against façade

there's nothing like a flower blooming, i think we can all agree on that. when i encountered this beauty in the streets, just last saturday, i stopped in my tracks, and took her portrait. afterwards, she whispered, thank you, that was my highlight for the day. jane's corner view, francesca's hosting, cole's theme.

      well, bonnie! i couldn't quite see what those sillies were. i actually thought more something squeezed out from lesser alleys, and daren't mention the tiny whatevers. but i agree! they are lady bugs. and if they weren't, then they are now! ;)))
      later, n♥

    There isn't a better compliment for a flower than having its photo taken - did she tell you? :)

    Incredible flower and photo! You're awesome with that camera and with personification! I just love it when folks give inanimate objects a voice and other human characteristics--just makes this English teacher's heart flutter! He He!:>)

    She's such a beauty! And a polite one, too! I always had that suspicion that plants could talk but until now it was only the trees I heard whispering to each other.

    The fuchsia against the green is intoxicatingly exotic. The composition is truly an intense study in the making.
