    Shades of Rose

    Dark pink edges to light pink centers!

    From crimson to blushing-pink, she gives a wide spectrum of shades along with the shadows of dusky rose that rest in-between. This was another shot from market day.

    She Holds Many Messages

    If you are looking for a specific color to deliver a symbolic message, you could stick with a rose of one shade. However, if you want a rose that can send a lot of messages – this could cover quite a few – as far as shades of pink and crimson go.

    From the light side of pink, we can see happiness, gentleness, admiration, innocence, dignity, grace, femininity, refinement, and joy. Moving into deeper shades, we see gratitude, congratulations, appreciation, and recognition. Overall, it can give a sense of elegance and sweetness. Shades of pink can be romantic or platonic.

    As for crimson, these ruby edges speak strongly about passion, beauty, desire, true love, “I love you”, commitment, and romance. They can also speak for anniversaries, accomplishments, and graduations. It’s really about the context.

    🌹

    There is an additional element to this Rose, however, that also speaks of enchantment, mystery, wonder and splendor. It is love at first sight. It is that secret crush towards one who has, in the blink of an eye, captured your heart and soul. Its shade is called, Lavender.

    What message do you want to send today? And, to whom?

    It has rained a lot here and I liked the thought of frogs using these flower heads as their umbrellas. There were a few days I wished I was small enough to fit under a flower. 😊

    Tree Gazing

    Looking up at the leaves and branches

    Memories

    Holding one child on a hip, and one by the hand – we gather under the trees.

    “Shh, listen!” The wind stirs the leaves. “The trees are clapping their hands!”

    Coloring on an app, like Happy Color, is a nice way to be able to color wherever I am at. It’s nice not to have to haul art supplies around with me for those middle-of-the-day zen breaks. I enjoyed all the colors in this one!

    The Blue Giant Agapanthus, also known as African lily and Nile lily, forms large clumps of leaves with tall stems decorated in round, full deep blue / purple flower clusters. The word Agapanthus is derived from the Greek words agape, meaning love, and anthos, meaning flower. Agapanthus can be translated as, “Flower of Love”.


    What seemingly small beginning, has the potential to bloom into a luxurious bouquet in my life?

    Sky’s reflection in the lake

    August Photo a Day Challenge 11 – Vivid, Colorful


    Keeping cares

    Thinking that wears

    Is time spent

    That we wish to relent.

    However,

    In the midst of the fog

    Knee-deep in the bog,

    You may just find

    The cause for the bind.

    So, Look up. Look out.

    Give the new morning a shout!

    Sanctuary

    Gliding on still waters, the dip of the oars push me forward into turtle’s murky sanctuary. Am I still in the water, or am I rowing out into the clouds…

    Shardorma

    A shardorma is a simple syllabic poetry form which consists of six lines following a syllable pattern of 3–5–3–3–5–7. The six lines can be a complete poem or they can be strung together as stanzas to form a long poem.


    Kayaking

    Sky’s looking-glass shifts

    The oar dips

    Dips again

    Turtles go splashing

    A living dream on water
