A Birthday Thought

Tomorrow (February 22) is my birthday,
and as birthdays are wont to do,
each one causes pause for reflection.
As I recently photographed this lovely flower,
I was particularly enchanted with its brightly colored anther.
It becomes an image within an image.
And so it is with my recent discovery of photography.
I have long been an artist,
but I am thankful for photography
and the new creative energy it causes
to spring forth from within me in the years of my maturity.

Nature's Wonders

During a recent snowfall here in the South,
I decided to take some closeups of ice on trees sparkling in the sun .
Most photos came out "icy" but this one causes me
to "wonder" exactly what it is.
