As I write this, my heart is breaking in regard to the shooting attack on the Connecticut Elementary School. Life is a delicate balance to say the least. The amount of pain surrounding this terrible tragedy is unfathomable. My sincere sympathies go to everyone.
These photographs that are my representations of “Delicate” seem trite by comparison. But as completely paraphrased from the Dalai Lama, ‘There is more good than bad in the world, so we need to focus on the good, that way the bad does not win.’
My representations are of a dragonfly I found in my garden, spray paint fumes in the sunshine, frost on a bottle, and my maiden fern (that is very delicate and very sensitive to lack of water).
I pray for peace and healing in our world.
I too am shocked by the senseless killings at that school – I am holding the Dalai Lama`s wise words before me – thank you for that quotation.
Thank you. But don’t quote my “Quote”. It’s highly paraphrased.
The wings are just perfect!
Thank you very much!
You are right to quote the Dalai Lama. Focus on the good and you did. Look how good your photos especially the wing of the dragon fly and the fern. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
These are beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Exquisite photos – the best I’ve seen of the challenge so far.
WOW! That is quite the excellent compliment! Thank you very much! ;-D
Unusual looks at the dragonfly wings and the maidenhair fern (my favorite fern). Very, very nice.
Thank you! I love that fern. I have 2. One in a normal pot that I really need to be careful with and one in a terrarium, that one is almost self-sustaining!
I like the name Maiden Fern. In Brazil there’s a belief that girls who have one at home won’t marry, so they are kept outside.
Thank you! And, ha ha, I guess it is all a matter of opinion of where is the best location of the Maiden fern.
(I would have had one next to me 24/7 to have avoided my last go around.)
