Leapfrogging - Nov 13 & 15th

 #DailyFlowers

 Well, in all this Diwali excitement we missed the previous day, which is not fair because gems were shared. So we play leapfrog today, Nov 13 & 15 in one post.

We begin with Sai, been unfair to him; Sai, the framer is back and how...

Yellow, Pink and White subtly framed
The young photographer is becoming Twitter acclaimed
Counters, contrasts, dark and light
He captures Mother Nature in all her colors bright

And, then we have the stalwart, Shashi who never fails to disappoint and brings forth such beauties bright 

Flowers in bunches, flowers for prayer
Their vivid colors are beyond compare
As fall sets in and winter knocks on the door
These will form part of memories that will cheer us evermore

Next should be Shalini: The weekend is nigh...here's a bouquet for a happy #Diwali for all on #DailyFlowers. This looked like a karela vine, but who can imagine such a bitter fruit stemming from such pristine sweet beauties?

On one hand a bouquet created by human hands
On the other, a fruiting vine proudly stands
One evokes feelings sweet,
The other produces a bitter veg few love to eat
But both are Nature's true deeds
One delights the other feeds

Shalini and Vivek usually interchange the order, but Shinjini came in between with: Some roses from Chacha’s farm. #dailyflowers  And Happy Diwali, folks! 

Brilliant Red-orange roses
Three together in royal poses
One standing as sentinel over the other two
Making for a wondrous view

 
Whither one rose comes, can another be left behind
Not when they bring such pleasure and peace to the human mind
Colors vibrant, soft, ever glowing
Their fascination keeps ever growing
 
Onto Vivek, we can't leave him behind: A Casino lobby is the best place for meditation (after you have lost all your money gambling). Some flowers were real, others weren’t. Hard to tell the difference. 

Flowers! Where Flowers?
The human in front them overpowers
There's grey all around
The flowers do break out of bounds

And then off to Singapore: A Japanese garden from the Glass Dome in Singapore

A Japanese garden in a Glass Dome
That's what these flowers call home
And Vivek went them to visit
To gladden his and our spirit
