Saw this on my walk this morning. Brightened up an otherwise overcast day. The owner was in the driveway fiddling with his car. I asked permission before launching onto his property to take this photography. He was very gracious, even offered me a rose! 😊

this bustling marketplace is a blend of stores, stalls and vendors
food and music is everywhere
clouds of smoke from barbecue wafts, spices are very pronounced!
flavors from my childhood linger in every corner
pressing forward, I was happy to wander back in time

Quadrille #201: Poems of Place
In my garden these two bushes are entwined. They are trying to out muscle each other. Both are taller than me! The scent coming from this corner of the garden though, is heavenly!

It is the time of year when I go ‘plant crazy’, according to my daughter ( now my mother, she thinks).
Since I killed off my cactus and pineapple top I planted last year. I figured I’d bring in a replacement and keep it indoors this time. I think the cactus and pineapple fell victim to the spring rains. I had forgotten that part about cactus-type plants. Rain is not their friend. Lessons learned.
A good day to all!

These are everywhere in my neighborhood right now. Some are lining streets while others are in the park. It kept catching my eye, but today I really paid attention to this one. The blooms are directly on the hefty trunk, as well as on the thinner branches. How cool is that? An equalizer. Beauty from all shapes and sizes. Imagine that☺️.

our friday night hideaway
a table for two
that jazz quartet
that voice –
meandering, lamenting the blues
the hills, the valleys
soulful notes
mournful notes riding the bass
the story of a life – in and out of the blues
at our friday night hideaway

On April 2, there was no sign of life. On my return on April 9, it was a foot high. It keeps me guessing. Nature in all its glory
