wish upon a lemon

was my contribution to the tee shirt competition 

at ohh deer

no winning was involved 

which was sad for me but one of the winners made a big lemon tee shirt

which was nice because lemons are sunny

next time i will wish on more than one lemon

a meadow

and this

reading Italo Calvino's : six memos for the next millenium the first one is about lightness, i liked this part:

"Beauty of woman and of wise hearts, and gentle knights in 

armor; the song birds and the discourse of love; bright

ships moving swiftly on the sea; clear air when the dawn

appears, and white snow falling without wind; stream of

water and meadow with every flower; gold, silver, azure in

ornaments.

The line ["and white snow falling without wind"] is taken up with a

few modifications by Dante in Inferno XIV.30 ....As snow falls in 

the mountains without wind. 

The two lines are almost identical, but they express two 

completely different concepts. In both the snow on windless days 

suggests a light, silent movement. But here the resemblance ends.

In Dante the line is dominated by the specification of the place

....a mountainous landscape, whereas in

Cavalcanti the adjective ["white,"] which may seem pleonastic,

together with the verb "fall" - also completely predictable - dissolve

the landscape into an atmosphere of suspended abstraction.

its that last bit that i'm most interested in, and how specific place and non-place

abstraction differ like how people go to sight see Buckingham palace

but they don't go to sight see in a meadow, when there is plenty to be seen in both.

(also i had to look up pleonastic-word of the day)

happy day

some photos of spring nature

the flowers

grow up

and the catacombs 

the willow seeds hang down

they tell stories like people but only because i imagine flowers to have personalities that

are directly related to their colour and character in the disney Alice in Wonderland

singing in the sunshine.
