I really need to make a better effort of learning how to take a picture. Don’t focus too much on the photo…pretend my words are flailing about saying “Look at me! Look at me!” These pictures are just the proof that I had a source of inspiration.
I am glad you liked this poem, Photographer Philosopher Extraordinaire.

I would say that was a marigold. Has a distinctive scent and most insects don’t like it.
Now if you like guitar have a listen to Midnight in Manaus from Manaus Where Two Rivers Meet. That is pretty hot.
I just looked the marigold flower up. She’s nothing like the ones I grew up seeing. But, I think you’re right, however she is the daintiest marigold I’ve ever seen. Maybe it’s her ocean living…it looks good on her. Thanks for the help.
I do like guitar. I will check it out. Thanks, Leslie

Hi, Amy. Thank you so much…
I’m glad you found it to your liking, as I know how serious you take your gardening. She spoke to me, you know. She said, “Aud, get busy and do something with your life.” I told her, “I prefer to dance first…” She refused. Isn’t she beautiful?
Now, Audrey, She was only trying to get your attention, and She did. It’s good to do something with your life. Did you listen to Her secrets that I know She has for you to help you? I am truly shocked She did not want to dance. Hmmm…..This sounds like serious business……. xx Amy
I did listen, and hope I can follow through with it all. Ahh, she was merely pointing me in the right direction. No dancing allowed whilst working, I guess. 😉
Hope all is well, Amy. xx
I don’t know. I searched for a picture of it online before I posted the poem. I couldn’t find her anywhere on there. All I know is that she was fighting to grow right by the bay, Monsieur.
Oh, I can see the smile, the tease, the hint of a twirl that could come but won’t just yet. Your three lines unleash a summer storm of warmth promised.
Haha! You guessed it, Mark. The pressure you’ve just placed upon me to provide a summer storm is like a hurricane. Just getting measurements could be awhile…
Hey! On my way out this morning guess what song I heard?
Guitarist Big Jim Martin was rockin my windows with Faith No More’s Epic. Know that one? Still fresh all these years later…awesome catch this morning!
You chased me to The YouTube (I love feeling out of touch and calling it that) to refresh my memory on Big Jim and FNM’s Epic. Great video from official German version of the lighning and rain and fish flopping around. Big and thick song. Not what I was listening to then, but I do defer to your taste and say it rocked me.
Well, I’m glad you found it to your liking. About half way through it comes alive with that guitar. Not into punk rock that much, but this song is a good one. I must now go to The Youtube and watch the video…haha. I’m sure it’s strange. I have no doubt.
Haha. Did you watch the video in German? I gotta tell ya, I turned it off after about 3 seconds. Watch an American video of the song and only sat through 7 seconds…wow. One of those…best if heard on the radio songs.
I am a radio guy, XM satellite in my car. I like Deep Cuts, 70s, The Highway … And The Blend so I can hear pop songs of today. Also Bruce E Street station.
