WPC: Half and Half

I’m sure I’m not the only one to think of posting my morning coffee with half ‘n half in it to celebrate this week’s photo challenge, Half and Half.

I usually post just one photo, but this week, I’m going with two, one from nature, and one from people. I think it’s interesting to note how in nature there is a certain complementarity — a balance if you look for it. Last week I accompanied my husband on an errand to his office, and I took my camera to entertain myself while he was fixing something or other. I wandered around the side of the building which is filled with cactus plants — I mean packed tight. Who needs a security system? Only a nut would try to get past that wall of prickly things. Anyway, I was enthralled by the coexistence of purple hearts throughout the field of cacti, side by side, adding color and life to an otherwise boring landscape.

That’s how I feel about my better half — he complements my insanity with steadiness. He balances my world. We are half and half – a whole, but retaining individuality.
