Looking at the world
from the corner of your eyes
peering around and through
fingers-splayed as the sheild
from other eyes more persistent
In rare moments
when you feel safe enoughto let your guard down
and let the prying eyes in
what beauty they behold

well yours certainly captured a bit of beauty...lovely flower...letting out guard down is not always easy...
I see those who keep their guard up around me, they are so hard to know. Beautiful pictures.
and the flower said hello
peace comes to ones soul
its beauty is like
honey upon our lips
Perfect description for the photos, and for some days when I feel like I need something bigger than my fingers. ;_) Lovely clematis.
Such a shy little flower)
Great way to honor the beauty in nature that so many take for granted. The photos are awesomely awesome.
Great way to start off a Monday.
I love every second this piece of art and wonderful words x
I love this, Talon!
I loved evrything about this..words and picture..Just beatiful!!!
Simply beautiful photos Talon and I also love what you have written. The first shot had me of course, wondering just what was on the inside. :-) Great yellows and the wee bug on the header! Job well done :-)Looks like your flowers are on the bloom!
its so very lovely. some beauties are hidden from many eyes.
So nice - the words go perfectly with the mysterious flower.
Beautiful poem. Beautiful pictures!
Gorgeous Talon. Your photos take my breath away. The colour purple and a story attached.
Oh, so very pretty, both the words and the flowers.
words and flowers lovely and at this moment the sunshine broke through the cloud cover and rain...magic happens
I have several big bowls of pansies around my yard this year - I think they are winter ones which may leave if summer every arrives but lovely now
even the buggly
What a beauty of a poem. And pix.
Thanks for always keeping our eyes open for your beauty.
Xxoo
Talon, lovely, simply lovely!
Love this!
Margie :)
What do you do? Set up a blind next to the flower garden?
Fantastic Photography Talon.
If Patience is a virtue, you are the most virtuous chick on the planet!
Sometimes it's necessary to keep our guard up but we miss out on so much by doing so. Lovely words and exquisite pictures. Isn't that flower the most gorgeous colour?
feels like we are riding the same gentle breeze my friend:-)
Love this!
Thanks, Brian. So true - there's that vulnerability that makes us feel extra fragile.
Christine, they are. It's like trying to peer through brick walls. Thank you. The clematis is stunning this year.
Ellis, lol - just a little sweeter than bloodshed, no? ;)
Thanks, hedgewitch. Yes, sometimes the finger shield is definitely not enough :)
Grannie, that's what my daughter and I thought when we spied this bloom :)
TechnoBabe, thank you so much! I'm glad you liked them! :)
G, thanks. I'm glad :)
Lorraine, thank you so much! xx
Mama Zen, thank you!
Thank you so much, Cindy!
lg, thank you! The clematis is outstanding this year. I guess it's like the roller-coaster weather. And I can never resist putting some annuals in pots about and the pansies are so sweet and fragrant I can never resist. :)
Trisha, it's so lovely to see you! And thank you so much. I agree - some beauty is overlooked by many eyes, isn't it? I hope all is well for you!
Lynn, the clematis is crazy bloom-filled this year. I always think it's almost too exotic looking for our northern climes :)
Teresa, thank you!
Joan, thank you so much. Isn't the purple amazing? And those yellow-green centres are the perfect foil. I think nature has the best colour combos :)
Linda, thank you! :)
Patricia, so glad you enjoyed - even the little bug which seemed to enjoy swaying on the tip of the pansy in quite a strong breeze (for a bug) :) Aren't the pansies sweet? We have them as annuals here and they bloom beautifully all summer. I'm always sad with their demise in the fall.
Jannie, thank you. Thank YOU for always enjoying my flower pics and flowery words! xxx
Margie, thank you! So glad you liked it! :)
lol, Galen. If you only knew how impatient I can be. But somehow that slips away when I have camera in hand. I'm glad you liked the shots. :)
Gypsy, isn't that clematis something? It's truly magnificent. The blooms are about 7" across and there must be at least 30 open right now with more to come. I just wished they lasted all summer long. You're right - there are risks in both letting the guard down and in keeping it up. Darn - is there no easy way to balance things out in life? :)
Laura, beautiful synchronicity at play. Lovely to see you and I loved your post. Sometimes moving slowly is a real gift, isn't it?
ayala, thank you!
I really like the way you think!
reffskAmazing peekaboo blossom pic n poem! How meat!
Hi Talon .. Peekaboo .. was exactly right - I went out to get a glass of water and who should be peering at me as I returned ...
They brought some kittens into the home yesterday for the residents and the black one - zonked out asleep in his 'nest' came and said hello - but coal black all over .. not sure Mum could see him!!!
The clematis is the most beautiful colour .. and the three photos are superb .. love them .. and now it's Thursday - oh well I enjoyed them even if I'm late to the party! Cheers Hilary
gorgeous clematis !!
an encapsuled beauty begs to be seen only by a few. such a rare time. great poem.
