The Litae
Clematis aristata is an Australian climbing plant found in the forests of the eastern states.
When this was taken it was pouring – rain all over the camera and lens! In the gloom these three good spirits were nicely aligned and oblivious to the turmoil around them.
The Litae were the daughters of Eris and Zeus and sisters of Ate. After Zeus cast Ate to earth from Mt. Olympus, she wandered around, causing mischief. The Litae trailed behind her, doing their best to fix the problems she created – Greek mythology.
The Litae belongs to the following groups:
All About Flowers, All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Australian Bush ☼ (aspects of realistic Landscapes - ie N0 Abstracts or Macros please!), Australian Native Plants-2 per day, Fabulous Flowers, Film Photography, Greek and Roman Mythology, Green!, Live, Love, Dream: , Photo-Zen and Spiritual Art Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters
