meri i had to look up those amazing flowers - ranunculus! i love the way the shadows and light play across their petals. thanks for these gorgeous photographs. steven
Steven: Aren't ranunculus amazing? I love how many layers of ruffles they have. The remind me of ballerina tutus. And I just had to play with my new camera. There are some kinds to work out and I think for closeup shots, I'll have to use a different lens.
Maggie: Isn't it a splendid color? And I love the little buds about to pop in the background.
I saw some ranunculus in London today, but they weren't as splendidly and brilliantly colored as these. Did you take these pictures in Mexico? (Don't you think these are Mexican colors?)
To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life. But to feel the affection that comes from those whom we do not know, from those unknown to us, who are watching over our sleep and solitude, over our dangers and our weaknesses -- that is something still greater and more beautiful because it widens out the boundaries of our being, and unites all living things.

your incredible photos give me pause for deep reflection.

Wonderful words, too.
