#DailyFlowers
Even as seasons change, days grow shorter, nights longer and there is nip in the air; warm clothes come out, flowers continue to spread their vividness around.As is my wont, I have been trawling twitter, FB for pix, have gained some beauties, sharing them here.
See the photographer's skills applied
On two whites side by side
Nature's grand forms
For the camera do perform
Vivek suddenly remembered flowers he hasn't taken pix of; and then he shared some gyan: The “आपटा” tree in full bloom in our neighbor’s yard. On Dussehra, we Maharashtrians visit each other and exchange the leaves of this tree. It is synonymous with gold on that day.
Beautiful pinks and purples vibrant
Are they innate or migrant
Doesn't really matter
They add to the flowers' chatter
Shashi went I think to Peru in one and to Baltimore's Inner Harbor (2009 visit) in another
It is strange but travels focus on food, people-functions, monuments and flowers
Those memories have massive restorative and regenerative powers
So, it is today, that we images from our albums cull
Into soothing, peaceful times do they us lull
From @Ranjona's profile page, lifted without permission
Hoping i will be forgiven the borrow with this admission
All shades of fuchsia, magenta's and pinks I adore
When I see them, i want to them add to my store
From Preeti's posts come two of nature's weaves
Have you ever seen such intense flowers and leaves
Eyes fixate on them and take in the sights
These gems minds, souls, hearts delight
The foreground purples seemed to have jumped onto mustard petals
While on the other side a deep maroon onto the bloom settles
Well bounded within the greens
These are marvels infrequently seen
From Shalini: “Love and a red rose (dahlia) can’t be hid.” - Thomas Holcroft
Shalini forgot to post her share today
But presented a poet's image yesterday
Love and red go hand in hand
Together they the test of time withstand
Another single, this time from my cousin's memory banks
This somewhere among the top shares ranks
Glorious blooms do the tree cover
Another nature's wonder for us to discover
Oops, I nearly forgot, good friend's Nimmy's wandering
Some deep orange blossoms responded to her conjuring
In a swathe of lovely green enveloped
Wonder how many of her winning thoughts were developed
