Candy Shop

Going into the Botanical Greenhouses, I thought I would behave properly.

After all, I am an adult.

I had planned to calmly and professionally
take down the names
of EACH exotic flower
I photographed.

And then I saw the first flower,
followed by the second and third.

Click, click, click,
went my finger on the camera.

I rushed along the aisles,
spinning from one beauty to another.

Like a kid in a candy shop,
my eyes grew large
and my heart tapped a double beat.

I stuffed my camera full of photos;

as many as it would hold!

I forgot all about documenting my journey.

So, thanks to me,
you are going to be none the wiser
about the names of the plants I am posting today.

You will have to settle for feasting your eyes -
like I did!

In the end,
it's not "information" that I came here for.

It was to fill my senses,
to be reminded of what a magical world we live in.

On Monday, it will be back to reality for me and my blog.

P.S. It's snowing wonderful white snowflakes this morning :(
