In my life I have learnt
never to turn down the opportunity
to repeat experiences
And so we walked visitors through the Historic Gardens
This time around I noticed was
the showy peonies
and the centres of their little worlds
I don't 'do' flowers
not a flowery person
but my goodness me
surely there is something to stitch here!
Definitely there is something interesting to stitch there. The tiny details and structures may be inspiring when the larger view of the flower itself is not..
ReplyDeleteKind of like an abstraction.
DeleteJust the centers alone make me think of tiny stitches -- in glorious colors.
ReplyDeleteWhat surprised me was the variety in those centres.... so many possibilities.
DeleteThese are beautiful! I had to chuckle at "I don't do flowers"...especially since I was out there again photographing the neighbors sunflowers that I am obsessed with! Ha! I'll post them soon :)
ReplyDeleteOh, but sunflowers are fascinating aren't they!
DeleteI definitely see clumps of wonderful Brazilian knots!
ReplyDeletetrying again to leave a comment
ReplyDeleteoh!, it worked this time.
ReplyDeletewhat i'd said in the one that didn't, was
that to me peonies are Queens, Goddesses
of flowers. they are a strong part of my
past, that is becoming farther and farther
ago...so, thank you for this
