Bloom in the Glade

Floral Friday
Columbus Botanical Garden

Lone bloom in the glade,
Drinking in the quiet sun,
Whole world in its petals.

Hello?

Wait, who is this?

It’s me!

Who?

I know, I’ve been a little quiet lately.

A little? Try a lot!

Yeah… sometimes, the words don’t flow.

Flow? They weren’t uttered!

I get it, let it go.

Fine!

I think this post (The fungus among us) by Robin over at the breezes at dawn blog was still on my mind when I went to the botanical garden Sunday morning. I’m not generally looking for the fungi but these little buggers jumped out at me. Luckily, I was the only one there so early in the morning because I was crawling all over the lawn looking for the best angles… 🙂

The first three images are different angles of the same one. I was looking for the right background as well as a view to highlight the detail. In the first image the background is the grass, a bunch of flowers for the second and a bright tree for the last one. In the end I liked all three… lol
