Saving the lovely droopy peony: who bows her head as if in shame

2014 05 20 Peony jpg sig

the peony is like a rose
but kinder softer without thorns
when you pick her
she will offer no resistance
she will stand just as sweetly on display
because
she knows that in the glass
she has just one last chance
to hold her head up high!

(Yeah to peonies! There are twenty more like her in the garden getting heavy with dew! So I saved this one and gave her blue!)

some balloons count cars and become signposts

A beautiful morning again. No clouds, clear sun. Just the big morning flighty kisses up there from the planes. Yesterday (Wednesday) went to a street market to take photos of balloons.. I guess some of the balloons that were there are gone today.But not the two I saw as I got off the bus. Flying no more.  As for this bunch (of five) sitting in a high tree; they have  landed in a really high place, and will stay there  till the last, unnoticed, counting cars, because everyone seems to look down at this point.Yeah! that’s 30 early planes at least I must have seen heading to Heathrow this morning(Thursday) making little crosses, way way up there. Can’t ever hear’em but  they  seem to be following my road, looking for the  place to land….. which they will…due east!
