Magic Flowers
It was hard to believe when I first looked at it. I had leaned back too far when I shot the picture and at a quick glance, I thought I had put my camera on the sepia setting. Transferring it over to my computer is when I saw the bright orange petals on the right side peeking over. The image was actually the shadow of the two roses I was trying to photograph and the stubborn wrinkles of my white sheet background became the roses delicate petal details.
I've had a weepy day today as my health is being stubborn and I haven't had a decent day for 3 weeks now. Before taking this picture, I came across this 15th Century native Aztec poem, by Ayocuan Cuetzpaltzin,
~ Friendship is a shower of precious flowers and the Earth is the region of the fleeting moment. ~
It really made an impression on me and basically said that the Earth is temporary, but relationships last forever...Specifically said, people who are showered in friendships. That is how I feel in this blogging community...showered in friendships.
So, when the wrinkles in your life resemble roses that symbolize friendships, well, that is a very wonderful life, regardless of the circumstances.
What is your photographic magic mistake?

oh...darlene.
this post made me feel so so much. SO MUCH. my heart aches to be there to shower you with love in person, but since i can't be, i hope some of the virtual kind gets through.
be gentle with you today. take care.
XXXXXXX
That's a great serendipitous photo!
I've noted on your blog that you have a major health issue going. I don't know you well enough to inquire, and, really, it doesn't matter. Rotten health is rotten. I've seen people I love through terrible ailments, some through to the return of health, and some through to that place none can see.
I'm sending you good thoughts.
gorgeous mistake, dar...love the Sepia tones and the contrast with the orange flower petal on the right.
mmmm!
lovely composition.
still sending those healing vibes and prayers your way.
xoxoxo
Beautiful photos and beautiful correlation to the saying you found.
Sending you more more more healing vibes.

Dear Dar
You are such a beauiful woman.
Your beauty radiates to all those who connect with you.
It really is such a gift to you.. and for us.
Not many people have it as you do Dar.
I know you have been doing a LOT of spiritual work lately.
And that stuff is draining... and tiring.
You take good care of yourself beautiful one.
Feel the shower of love... of friendship, for brave, wise *you*...
My Photographic fluke... is this one. I love the lighting.
My love and hugs for you today (and every day) !!

Oh... and (eik where is my brain!!)
Your photo totally rocks my friend.

stunning sepia shadows... who would have thought?
this last winter i was entranced by the shadows of trees on the sidewalk.
"I can't wait to be me again."
(These words just plopped out of my hands. I wonder what they mean for me. Longing that has no name, a desire for destiny in the most spiritual sense.)
Hmmmm... tangent...
There's my magic mistake of the day!
;)
love, light and healing to you darlin darlene...

What a beautiful photograph, and a beautiful spirit that emanates from this post and all of your blog. I'm grateful to have found you.
Those photos are absolutely breathtaking - both the magical "mistake" and the one that shows the full view of the roses.
I'm sending good thoughts your way, hoping you feel better~~~~~
Oh my dear, so sad for your weepy moments ... and, I wish I could wrap you in my arms and tell you that they (and you) will be okay.
