Love Calla Lilies especially Robert’s photo, it’s beautiful. In the area l live in London many Greek Cypriot people planted Calla Lilies in their gardens and they pop up everywhere, such a delight to see.
Just saw Robert Mapplethorpe's photo Belly Button at Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston. Also sensual. His lilies are so voluptuous. I've loved them for many years. Thank you for this equally gorgeous poem Patti.
I love the lilies. Long ago in Aardvark Books in San Francisco, I found a worn copy of Robert Mapplethorpe’s book with photos of black men who had loved with his body and his camera. One young man was s holding a small handful of lilies.
Thanks for sharing more lilies. And for continuing to share your travels. We took a train from Helsinki to Tampere and I remember the white bark and golden and green leaves of the Birch trees. So beautiful
Absolutely wonderful images...they are never 'used up' ...just stunning each and every time you look..
I have really fallen in love with these photographs and, the poem, such heartfelt and beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful photographs. Each one suggests a unique grave - and also a vulnerability.
Absolutely beautiful poem!
This is so beautiful🥺
So beautiful ... and there is still so much love around, that is just wonderful to see, to hear, to feel.
That tulip, so vulnerable, could stroke it, the drooping stem maybe,
put aside....listening now to why........it is so open.....such an accompaniment to the lilies and flowers

"Why do birds suddenly appear
Everytime you are near?"
