Another photo from my artist’s date on Sunday… I went for a walk in my neighborhood. This, I believe, is a bird of paradise flower. I live in a land where flowers bloom in winter. And yet, if I drove just a few hours, I could also go skiing (if I skiied).


oooo, purty!!!
i’m glad your first day went so well!!
Ooooooh. This flower is SO beautiful. The colors make me tingle.
Nice to know there is another Mac user out here!
Wow — what a gorgeous photo! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bird of paradise flower from that angle. It’s always photographed from the side, but it’s so cool looking this way — it really DOES look like a bird, in fact. Beautiful.
Those colors are amazing. I never tire of up close and personal views of flowers. Never.
OMG! Beautiful.
how beautiful, Kathryn, how beautiful!
I actually enjoy my morning (or mid-day rather) pages. I sometimes write more than three pages.
We certainly have a lot of these in California–winter or summer. I agree I haven’t looked at a Bird of Paradise from the angle–very Georgia O’Keefe-ish. Well, only three more days left until your new job starts. Hey, loved your grad photo.
