Early Morning Enchantment...

“The only words that ever satisfied me as describing Nature are the terms used in fairy books, charm, spell, enchantment. They express the arbitrariness of the fact and its mystery" ~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton

The Bud

The Unfolding

The Bloom

...and the Bee

Thanks everyone, this Rhodie is right outside my kitchen window. Every morning I have watched it unfold into it's full glory, I loved the play of light on the brick and wanted to capture it. I am very fortunate that my landlord planted a perennial garden for me to enjoy (and I don't even have to pull weeds :)

Love the flair with which you presented the rhodie -- and the bee.

What a clever way to show this beautiful flower.

OhioMom said...

Why thank you Nell, I try :)

LOL Sue .. don't know about that, but I do love playing with my digital camera :)

Thanks Balisha .. I love my view from the window while I drink my morning coffee .. that and the absolute quiet of the house :)

I wait for my rhodies like crazy - they're the first to bloom. I love all the photos - but the bud - showing so much promise really touched me.

OhioMom said...

Thank you Claudia ... I love Rhodies too.

such lovely colors and shapes, and i'll bet the aroma is nothing to sniff at either...or in this case, something to definitely sniff at. :)
