and the stains
all were soon forgotten.

In life the only thing that you can expect is the unexpected; the only surprise is a day that has none

Instead of looking for favourites I looked for unseen beauties. I hope you like them too.
Random 54: Hesitation
The Tree
The tree benefits us
in numerous ways.
The life was not easy
when she was standing.
Not even now
when she is lying.
She never complains.
Now she is waiting
for a gentle touch.
She wants to
pass on the stories.
The ones she is carrying whole her life.
Every mark,
every wrinkle,
every curve
was ready to break the silence.
I watched her for a while.
I appreciate her from a distance.
But
I hesitate to go near.
I hesitate to touch.
I hesitate to show love.
What was stopping me?
Why the reluctance?
Just beacuse she was not from my own garden.
Does it even matter?
Finally I touched her.
I caressed her.
I feel her pain.
We smiled at each other.
She knows she is not alone.
And yet she is now free.
*****
It’s the season of giving back. Don’t hesitate, help others this holiday season and spread love.

Random 52: Seasonal Obsession
The creative habit is like a drug. The particular obsession changes, but the excitement, the thrill of your creation lasts. ~ Henry Moore
Roses in November – The tough ones
A visit to local Arboretum.
If the rose puzzled its mind over the question how it grew, it would not have been the miracle that it is.
~ J. B. Yeats
Be(e) – A lady well-laden with pollen
*****
When you see bees flitting about your garden, you might notice that some of them have orange or yellow clumps along their hind legs. Resembling tiny saddlebags, these bright spots of cargo are pollen baskets or corbiculae. These baskets are found in apid bees, including honey bees and bumblebees.
Pollen is loaded at the bottom of the pollen basket, so the pollen that has been pushed towards the top is from flowers the bumblebee visited earliest on her foraging trip. When a pollen basket is full it can weigh as much as 0.01 g and contain as much as 1,000,000 pollen grains. So for those of you who buy bee pollen to eat as a health supplement just think of the work that has gone into gathering it.
