I'm All In Musings of the Artists Mind I was aiming at a different flower altogether when the wind blew this blossom in and out of my shot and I caught it.

Lovely Mornings Musings of the Artists Mind I feel I may have captured a still from a soap commercial here. Showing a world made fresher, cleaner, brighter, and more delightful by its use.

Marbled Pink Musings of the Artists Mind At this point, some of you may be wondering if this nostalgic marbling of my Nono’s peonies is an obsession or overdone pride in my Italian heritage.

Reaching To The Sun Musings of the Artists Mind Snapdragons, Lilies, or some strange squash flower? I just realized how much I am attracted to these pinkish-orange flowers.
