SUMMER FLOWERS I

Walter Aue and Helga Kraus, Summer 2001


Sure, the garden is growing out of bounds. But so is the number of pictures...

The early photographer gets caught by the bug.  Yours truly, that is. Unenlightenedly, too.

Light and Shadow

. 
Remember:  Every light must come out of a dark background...

Innocence

. 
Beauty is but sun and soil.  Well, add water and time, if you must...

Gift from Above

.

A place of visit for all kinds of critters.  Spectacular and with an overpowering scent. Mock jasmine (mock orange), I believe it is called.

White Wave

. 
No bull around, fortunately.  Just Wave Petunias.

Red Wave

.

.
.
. 
There are also dill, parsley, chives and garlic in that soup.  First comes food, then beauty.  Even if hidden...

Up, up and away...

. 
Should I have called it
"The Blushing Bride"?

Dream of a Ruby

. 
Poppies for dreaming - 
and Calendula for healing 
when the dreams fall apart

Scattered Rainbow

.

.
.
. 
That's what shingles do...

Wallflower Dreams

. 
Right.  Foxglove.  Digitalis.  One of the most potent heart drugs.

Heartbreak Purple

.

.
.
. 
The Germans would use that for a Schüttelreim.  Shake the letters but don't drop the rhyme. Like:

Watch the tiny butterfly
nochalantly flutter by...

Flutterby

. 
Sorry, no answers.

Three Questions

. 
Really, the smell is almost narcotic.  When you wake up, have a look at the next bouquet (see below).

Sweet Dreams
