Flowers Are Us

Some overcast days the light is soft and mellow, filling the world with colours that seem to drip off of everything like wet pastel paint. A short shower of spring rain on one of these days will leave all things green aching and wimpering to be photographed. Who am I to deny Mother Nature that wish?

It's funny, come to think of it, how rain is usually considered bad weather, though all the while the droplets it leaves on the petals and in the hearts of the flowers only help them radiate their beauty more strongly and make them sparkle and shimmer in the light. There must be some hidden meaning to all of this. Some profound gem of wisdom. I guess in our lives when the rains come, although they seem wet and cold and we long for the dryer days we used to know, instead of complaining, we should just remember this means we're desperate to have our pictures taken...
or something...

Once again I stand in awe of your multi-talented personhood...

If only I could write half as lyrical as you I know my books would top Rowlings in the bestseller lists.

Is there anything you can't do?

(I already know your answer: "No, not when I am given time to practice.")

Ah Johan, your flattery is kind, but you exaggerate...

And bestsellers are a passtime for the illiterate masses, on the same level as newspapers - as beautifully written and just as momentous, though perhaps slightly less timeless...

Have you ever noticed how bestsellers are reread as often as the morning paper?
