Softer Hues to Gorgeous Shades...

 #DailyFlowers

 Shashi began the day with a soft, almost baby pink, a sight at once wondrous and one that my traitorous brain claimed it's mine!

My brain has fallen in love with this pink
With eyes steadfast it is taking a long drink
A color soothing a color gentle
Gladly takes on the #DailyFlowers mantle 

Sai followed it up with another all pervasive color that makes us sigh at its very simplicity and innocence

White is light, truly bright
Against the dark green shows its might
Calms the mind, gives eyes rest
Nature's majesty crowns every test

 But Vivek took a detour: Today’s post does not have flowers but a fascinating picture shared by Arti. Nature painting it’s own canvas. Autumn in Copenhagen. Good morning. 

Autumn in Copenhagen, Nature's painting
With the colors of the fall it is us acquainting
Who says only flowers have nuanced shades
Trees, leaves in this season show awesome grades

My sister shared this pic quite some time ago, this is Victoria, BC

Seasons change as they must do
From brighter, glorious colors to softer hues
Flowers have bloomed all spring and summer
Now it's the turn of the leaves marching to their own drummer!

Shalini decided to follow in the framer's footsteps, so she said: Taking inspiration from @VISHSAI  for the framing. I'm  told this is the Indian Orchid tree

Indian Orchid tree
Its flower blooms full and free
That gorgeousness is energizing
Its energy mesmerizing

Today was again begun by Sai, between him and Shashi they usually begin the day

On Thursday, Sai began the saga
His composition made us go gaga
Flowers or a bunch of fruits, yours to decide
Natural glory has done much to provide

 Shashi: In 2018, I spoke at a conference in Los Angeles. This was an amazing sight. Beauty is everywhere, you just need to stop and enjoy

An amazing sight
Beauty bright
Stop, don't move, just enjoy
Nature's bounty gives so much joy 


 Shalini says: This unusual rose exemplifies the Brahman I thought - neti neti - not white, not pink, not small, not big; defying description 

Not white, not pink, defies description
But did you check it thoroughly for an inscription
Something that says Brahman or not
Mother nature can't have this beauty created and that forgot


Vivek says: Nice colour eh? Just grows wild and I don’t know it’s name. Good morning

Just grows wild and I don't know its name
It has lovely colors and is hard to tame
Wildflowers can grow wherever they choose
No ordered gardens, no fencing they have not much to lose

From Archana as usual come beauties bright
Their color their symmetry is wondrously right
Mayhaps the artist could this reproduce
And maybe even more hues into it introduce
But the natural mastery is hard to beat
Even harder is the precision to meet
