Winds of Change, Perhaps...?

 #DailyFlowers

 It may seem as if the blog exists in a world by itself, but it is aware of the happenings around and it knows today is election day for the US and for state elections in India. 

Tuesday was begun by Shashi who said: It's Election Day in the US on Nov 3rd. It was windy when I took this photo. These rose petals held steady. When flowers can withstand the challenge of adversity.. why can't we...

Oh well, 

Winds of change blow
'Tis hoped for the better
Take heart from roses that stand strong n true to the letter
Adversity is powerless where truth and courage flow

Shalini showcased more flowers standing steady, though hers is a video, here's a screen shot

Though breezes blow strong
And branches bend and sway
Bunched together flowers hold steady n nod along
Despite an attempt to scatter n break their play

Vivek is not the one to be left behind: Perfect example of a symbiotic relationship. Surprisingly this pic was taken by me. Good morning. 

Tuesday brings surprises galore
Vivek is tuning into his framing more and more
Bless the butterfly
That didn't flit away at the approach of the shutter-fly

Sai came in late but with a beauty:

I have been beating my brain
To come up with a deserving rhyme
The framing is well set to explain
Sai's capture of the world sublime

The blogger has had so many blooms shared with her courtesy Archana that it seems some series are in order. Let's do Hibiscus this Saturday and then we will do some more, but for today...

Whether night or day flowers show the way
Reigning deities of all they survey
Lit by the night lights the pinks glow dark and deep
The slender petals do some precious treasure safely keep

My cousin has been steadfast in sharing her flowers
I am the laggard who underscores their powers
Flowers we love, the blooms we crave
These lil glories are so brave
