Amaryllis (two)

“Where, here and there, on sandy beaches
A milky-bell’d amaryllis blew”
Tennyson

Amaryllis

But this gorgeous flower
Has all the power
To entertain me, for hours

“I also like to garden. I grow things, vegetables, flowers…
I particularly like orchids. I raise orchids.”
Beau Bridges

Roses are red
Violets are blue…

But then again
It’s not always so zen
An Orchids’ colour may vary
So don’t get too scary
This time it was pink
As was the kitchen sink

“Say what?”

“Don’t blame me, It had to rhyme
Should I stop?”

“OK, so all is fine!”

“Then I’ll pop…
out that is 😉 “

“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination” Jimmy Dean

A stormy day by the Pool

They said the sun would shine
The weather would be just fine
So I will sit here
In my poolside chair
Enjoy the day not so fair
No matter if I like it
It’s no use fighting it
This is my holiday
On a not so sunny day!

Stormy Weather over there…
But maybe not here?

There is some storm front on the horizon
With some bad weather arising
From a snapper’s point of view, quite mesmerizing
For the natives up there, possibly poison
But as they say, it’s quite typical for the season

Toupee blowing Weather

The wind factor so high
It would make Trump’s toupee fly
This is a time for one of Takei’s “Oh Mys”

SL-WEEK 19: Monument

 

The Erechtheion temple priestesses, Acropolis, Athens, Greece

Acropolis

Four ladies of the temple
Each other do they resemble
The guardians on the porch
Standing tall with their torch
In this place of worship
For the Greeks of ancient
