Description

Hello ! I went to my greenhouse to take this shot :) Thanks for having a look and for your kind comments to yesterdays Bottle texture And special thanks to those who added it to their favorites. I am very happy that you liked it. :) Have a great day. Here the weather is windy, cool and grey. They promised more sun later. I lie this weather, but not so much the wind.

Helle, you make things I take for granted shine with beauty that their creator crowned them with. What joy!

I think Suzanne summed up everyone's responses well: "you make things I take for granted shine with beauty that their creator crowned them with. What joy!" I couldn't have said it better. In looking at this, you've done what you always do: Bring out small moments, shimmering surfaces, glistening patches of fibers and lights that make a flower look like a whole continent, and this flower—easy to overlook—becomes a "brave new world" as Shakespeare called it...and the background almost looks like neon. As Suzanne said, "you make things I take for granted shine with beauty that their creator crowned them with." Exactly. Cucumbers never had it so good.
