Unexplained Familiarity

Unexplained Familiarity

So this, the perfect beauty of our days,
When earth and heaven were vocal of her praise,
The fates have slain, and her sweet soul reposes;
And tears I bring, and sighs, and on her tomb
Pour milk, and scatter buds of many a bloom,
That dead, as living, she may be with roses.

    wow sophie, very insect. big buzzing hairy insect bout to land on a cone flower or daisy. quite different, like it alot and the colors really kick. wonderful depth and dimension a great feel of 3d and the real. (can just about hear its buzzz and the humming of its wings. and see them in hover mode as it approaches with care to sup.)

    I see the miles it covers reaching into the past to remind of something forgotten.

    I get a very melencholy feel from this one Sophie….and yet a soothing feeling. This so jogged my memory and brought to mind when I was very young and was riding the “Merry-Go-Round” at our local fair on the Monterey Peninsula…...I was always afraid of the faster, higher rides and chose this ride many times instead….a sense of safeness and security….......I love the awesome deep tones in this one…......you are a breath of Spring dearheart!!!
