Red

Our very old and hearty “nothing-kills-me” begonia.

“Red protects itself. No color is as territorial. It stakes a claim, is on the alert against the spectrum.” – Derek Jarman

“Mistakes”

On our recent anniversary trip to Atlanta, for some reason I kept making “mistakes” as I took photos.

Like these at the Atlanta Botanical Garden …

Or these from our Airbnb balcony with a great view of Atlanta’s skyline …

And even though they are mis“takes” …

… they are still kinda pretty.

All mistakes aren’t ugly.

Five Friday Happy Bringers 3/10/23

1. Young singer/actor Grandson Daniel owning the mic recently.

In a local vocal competition. He didn’t win, but oh my goodness, how he wowed the crowd. He was the youngest competitor, so perhaps it just wasn’t his time.

2. The wisteria outside my therapist Rubi’s office.

Okay, that structure IS NOT my therapist’s office. His office is in a beautiful old house behind this display of wisteria beauty.

3. Breath. Breath. Breath.

4. PINK in (nearly) spring Savannah.

I know, I know. I keep posting pictures of our azaleas. But Savannah’s display has been more than glorious this year.

5. My Orange Hubby.

May your weekend be filled with pink and orange and every color you adore.

The View from Behind #5: “Laughing Flowers”

For some reason, I have always appreciated “the view from behind.” As a child, on the first day of each school year, I was a nervous wreck waiting for the teacher to announce our seating arrangement. Front of the class? 😢 Too much exposure! Far too much responsibility to “be.” A nice, comfy seat toward the back? 😁 Perfect. I get to observe, to “see.” To breathe calmly.

In this blog category, “The View from Behind,” I invite you to join me, somewhere in the back.
