I went out intending to photograph
the marshmallow colours of Camellias
but they had been burned by frost.

In their place I foundthe sepia petals of Hydrangea,
luminous and elegant.
I realised that the ability to seethis kind of quiet beauty,
which I had always taken for granted,
has been missing from my life for a while.
It needs silence and concentration,which have been in short supply recently.

Beautiful and yes, silence and concentration can be the most elusive of things. Thank you for making me pause today.
ReplyDeleteAn austere beauty in those photos.
ReplyDeleteExquisite! I am speechless, and that in itself speaks volumes.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had taken those photographs....... The colours!
