The elegance and fragility of a Painted Jezebel captured in a timeless photo
When I saw this image…..Daydream popped in my head….Our daydreams normally can consist of fantasies, wishes, hopes, things that may seem surreal, or even just the need to briefly escape from our everyday lives….and to me…the beauty of how this flower is complemented and enhanced by the particular color of lilac background gives it a natural beauty that is almost unreal..There is such vivid and striking beauty that it is very unique and pure..yet it is so very gentle and soft at the same time…The way the light streams in on the blooms almost gives the feeling of hope…happiness…life… Whether this makes much sense or not as to where the title came from…I dont know…but that is just what I knew the title had to be…. It just felt right..
The sun warmly lights the frangipani’s from behind creating a soft and delicate feel to this capture! / /

the story goes.. that friendships develop over the the simple things. as I was loading this flower that I worked on. it is from my jasmine tree. I was struggling with the words to say… and decide not to publicize it… ♥.. the next minute i go to visit .. patty jo . also known as shadowdancer ..and I read these words that you see here…. i was hooked into the moment of being connected with her poem and with her whom I am getting to know through these magical moments in the red bubble.. here is her poem called My Fragile Flowered Heart thankyou Patty Jo, for letting me place this poem so beautiful here. Like the angel-white petals / of a Jasmine turn towards / the scent of the golden rays / of her sun, I turn to you. / See how her virgin foliage / twists and turns its body / from the cold-hearted shadows / to face anything resembling / the heated fury of her life giver. / I too, feel the pull and stretch / of my existence teetering on / a breaking point. / If you do not quickly cover my / mouth with yours / and allow my green heart / to bask in your glow, your heat, / and bring energy to my anther, / I fear my delicate petals shall / blacken and be blown away / into a nothingness where / memories only once existed. / They shall return to the dry earth / where my flowers were once birthed / in fairy tale dreams, / like a myth that never was / and never should have been.
