The creamy white and graceful lady opens her petals in her own time
from the early morning’s candle shape
to a full blown flower, wide with a petal like display- aeroplane wings.
She doesn’t fly away but waits for the bees who have to dive amongst her deepest thoughts
I caught one of these thoughts…
Signed “me”
My words, my magnolia.
Could be nice on the black?
Three good things;
1. Mint sauce with cold lamb.
2. Skype with brother-in-law.
3.They want me to have my sister's ring which was our mother's!
@shesnapped Maybe it does when it first comes out, Ashley but this one has lost some of its stamen and I can't smell a thing. There is another flower away up high that has just come out but if I try and reach that, I might fall over in an untidy heap into the bushes!
@shesnapped I would be doomed to lie injured in the darkness of deep bushes until a butterfly came alighted on my nose and I would be saved! Excuse my silliness!
A shot laden with the flower's charm and grace. I'm delighted that you're to have the comfort and joy of your sister's...and previously your mother's ring.
Such a perfect photo. I love the black background and all the detail you captured. What a wonderful thing to get your sister's ring which was your Mom's. Such a treasure. I can only hope in my family that things turn around and if my Mom dies before I do that my sister and I can work through it together. So many memories in the house I grew up in and my Mom lives in. Enjoy the ring when you get it. Will have to post a photo. FAV
@darsphotos Thats a nice idea, Darlene - I noticed it on her hand as she lay in the Hospice and wondered about it - not an engagement ring but a wide golden band.
@maggiemae How wonderful to be getting such a wonderful memory. My Mom has the ring my Dad promised to me and not sure she knows of his promise. I never said anything. My younger sister is executor to my Mom's estate in the event my Mom passes away before my sister dies. We are no longer in touch with each other so here is hoping that this part can be resolved for my Mom. I have a few pieces of jewelry from the passing of my sister in law last May. I cannot wear them for some reason. I hope eventually I can. Still painful for me. I hope you are doing ok as it is always hard to lose a loved one.
@darsphotos Thank you Darlene for releasing your thoughts! You have an extremely difficult situation with your younger sister. I would just like to say, I had one too with this sister who passed away but vowed I would not leave her side over the years. It worked out and she became my friend again. I would also like to say about the jewellery that was left to you by your SIl. The actual thought is so important rather than the past history!
Love your #3.
Nice 3#GT.
awesome poem
awesome inheritance!
