Blue Monday and Macro Monday


Philippine Bloom.

" Blossom amidst the rain and sunshine"

Song of the Flower
by Khalil Gibran

I am a kind word uttered and repeated
By the voice of Nature;
I am a star fallen from the
Blue tent upon the green carpet.
I am the daughter of the elements
With whom Winter conceived;
To whom Spring gave birth; I was
Reared in the lap of Summer and I
Slept in the bed of Autumn...

Hi Tammy: All these are my photographs.
Actually I already posted this flower on my February 2009 post tiltled "Wonderfully Made"

Thank you all for the nice messages.

Hi Regina, thank you for visiting my blue post. I love your flower and especially the poem. Poetry always makes me smile.

We have finally returned from very long and busy months of vacations and time with our families. I am happy to be home and finally having time to visit again.


Have a wonderful day.

Hugs...Jeanne
