Hope is the thing with feathers,
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.
~ Emily Dickinson ~
And why not give a seed feathered wings
so it can fly off to settle in new lands.
(The first plant is a clematis and the last is milkweed)
Hello Rosemary !!!!
ReplyDeleteIs it a dream or heaven?
Wonderful picture!
It's hard to believe that this fruit climatisé.
Yours.
Hello Lucia, they really are dreamy :) From a beautiful flower we get a beautiful seed!
DeleteRosemary, I've never had clematis seed because of they have no time to ripen before cold weather. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's too bad Nadezda because these feathery circles last all winter long :)
DeleteImages like this are so magnetic and evocative, I believe they would have made Emily leave her room and get to the garden – just to see what you and your camera saw.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful compliment Lee. I love Emily Dickinson's poems and have used them often in my blog. She provides the words that I am often at a loss for.
DeleteThese feathery seeds look truly amazing. For a moment I thought that you have plucked out a bunch of bird's feathers for the second image.
ReplyDeleteIt's true, in the second picture you would never believe they come from a flower :)
Delete"fly away" ...a perfect title for such beautiful gossamer photos
ReplyDeleteThank you Celeste, these seeds literally will fly away on the next windy day.
DeleteAs always, the photos are gorgeous. And I love that Dickenson poem.
ReplyDeleteThank you Connie, the two just seem to belong together :)
DeleteThese are lovely! Be still my heart.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jill, I think it's that soft, white, fluffiness, makes me weak in the knees too :)
DeleteFantastic shots!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thank you, my Thanksgiving was wonderful!
DeleteIncredible captures Rosemary! I can almost feel the feathery textures...Wishing you a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tammy, they remind me of the birds you photograph so beautifully :)
DeleteThe photo invites me to seize the day
ReplyDeleteA masterful moment!
It's best to seize the day because time does fly as well :)
DeleteExquisite Rosemary! I could almost feel the feathers!
ReplyDeletePlease fly into my garden o you seedlings ;)
Just wishful thinking..lol!
Thank you Ash, you always leave such happy comments, when I read them I can't help but smile. I will ask the wind to blow these seeds in your direction :)
DeleteBeautifully captured ! We were just out in the field today throwing opened milkweed pods into the wind with our grandson (an excuse for us to be kids again ;>)
ReplyDeleteThank you Rick, you've left me with a beautiful image, that's the same thing I used to do with my children. There is something so magical about the way the wind scoops up the seed and brings it to life. I'll use any excuse to feel like a kid again :)
DeleteI like that serie!
ReplyDeleteso light! so smooth!
Have a great day!
