"Dragon Tree Deva" (2014) |
Where I found, some 5 years ago, some very sexy flowers, Agaves with Attitude, and quite a few exotic Devas of the Garden...........
No matter how I wish, I find I just can't write lately. No new revelations come, other than it is so very important to notice the Beauty. With a capital "B". So my mind, keeps going backwards. I visited the Botanical Garden with my friend Joanna Brouk, and made these photos for her. Joanna and I went to Berkeley together, and she was a poet, a novelist, and best known as an early, and influencial, composer of synthesizer music. So much of her music came from the magical beings she sensed in nature, the Undines and the Dryads. She died suddenly in 2016, and I so often find myself missing her. As I approach my 7th decade, so much memory, and a lot of loneliness and loss too. Here is for Joanna, once again.
