Soft White Bells

SILLY TUESDAY - If you do not have a photograph yet ready to post for Silly Tuesday, please be thinking about it. We photographers, no matter how passionate we are about photography, need to remember that life is too serious to be taken too seriously. Humor helps us to keep life in perspective.

Oregon Public Broadcasting is in one of their pledge weeks. A real plus has been hearing the 2000 London "Moody Blues" concert more than once. I can remember 1967 just as if it were yesterday; the music scene changed. England, we who went through the 60s owe you, the "Moody Blues," the "Rolling Stones," and, what was the name of that quartet from Liverpool with the weird hairdos?

La traduction française de ces fleurs est "Scille", on les trouve plus souvent de couleur violette chez nous. J'aime beaucoup celle-ci vêtues de blanc.

I like the way the little bells hang, like they have danced all day in the wind, and now need a rest.

I haven't seen these tiny bell flowers in so long. They do not grow here that I am aware of. Your flower images are very impressive and pleasing. It is your spot on selective focus and vivid colors that bring out their beauty.
