"Flowers really do intoxicate me."
-Vita Sackville-West
Yep, I guess you could call me drunk on their fragrance.
Smitten, overjoyed, and captivated by their beauty.
I don't just see them with my eyes as
they speak volumes to my heart even in complete silence.
I think flowers and people have a lot in common, don't ya think?
Both come in different colors, shapes and sizes and each have their own personalities.
Some are more bold while others tend to be softer, like a whisper.
There are ones that are playful and mysterious, whiles others may be a little more elegant or exotic.
But whether a flower or a person, each has its own beauty and in both that beauty lies behind the layers.
We don't judge a flower before it's had a chance to open.
Well, I'm pretty sure we don't really judge them at all . . . and we shouldn't do that with people either.
Flowers seem to be the only thing I'm able to click with my camera lately, as my son is still home and still really sick. And even though I adore tulips, I'm hoping my grocery store gets something a bit more exciting in. I've been checking and waiting with baited breath for some Ranunculus to come in but with no luck so far!! I guess I could just do a study of Tulips in every color, lol!

I hope you are having a wonderful day, and if you are one of the lucky ones (NOT) that just got more snow, I hope it melts really soon. Our temps have fallen from the mid seventies to the low fifties and it's so windy I can't even take my flowers outside to the porch to photograph. In fact I brought my caterpillars inside too!
Yes, I have some Monarch babies, 2 chrysalis and one caterpillar getting fatter by the day.
Until next time,
Love, Kim
