April Showers

“Pansies in soft April rains

Fill their stalks with honeyed sap

Drawn from Earth’s prolific lap.”

Bayard Taylor 1825-1875 Buried in Kennett Square PA

April Showers

The weight of the raindrops
bent the Pansy’s face to the ground.
Petals like velvet.


Raindrops on Lily in Dorothy’s Garden

The gray and rain prevented me from photographing  all of Dorothy’s beautiful garden for her family. She tended it so well.   The blueberries ripening, a giant broccoli ready to cut.  New lettuces. And the tomatoes have really shot up.  As I was leaving, the vibrant orange stood out amongst the greens. I am certain there is a special name for this flower. Dorothy kept the tags and seed packets of what she planted in her garden, for future reference,

Giant orange lily with swollen raindrops sitting on the petals.

Just after it had rained.
