Spring is here — and with it the awful yuckiness of pollen. I’m going to have to tackle all the surfaces on the patio today, but I feel like it’s wasted effort as I look up at the pine trees still full of those pods. Still, one must continue to live and I’d like to sit out there today to enjoy the nice weather, so out comes the hose, even if I have to repeat it again tomorrow. Not wasted time if I can enjoy a glass of wine or a beer later this afternoon.
I love poetry
This week’s photo challenge is doing double duty, or triple duty if you count that I put text on the photo. Anyway, I missed last week’s challenge, to find a photo that illustrates a line from poetry or other literary pieces, so I chose Gerard Manley Hopkins’ poem, God’s Grandeur. It speaks to me this spring, especially that opening line I used in the photo.
I love my flowers
I love my flowers, too. We’ve been planting a lot the past few years and enjoying the fruits of our labor in the yard. John planted all these daffodils to delight me — you probably guessed I also like William Wordsworth’s poem, Daffodils. But this week’s challenge calls for landscape photos.
So there you go, a landscape of flowers inspired by poetry. Or something like that.
