The poem is called, “Shade Loving” by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer. You can receive a daily poem from her in your email. Her site is called wordwoman.com. The photograph was taken in Lucca, Italy when I stayed there with a friend on an art trip in 2016.
The photo is from Unsplash and was taken by Boris Smokrovic. I receive a daily poem in my email from the poet Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer whose poem is on this piece. Lovely words and a lovely image!
I was looking at photos in Lightroom and decided to use this photo taken on our Danube trip in 2019. As much as I am content to be home, it was wonderful to see other parts of the world. I am grateful that we went when we did.
I found this photo of some of the roses from my California garden. It was also nice yet bittersweet to see the sweet vase I had them in. I had a wonderful collection of vases I loved using for my roses and other flowers. I am looking forward to the lovely flower gardens we will begin getting planted in our Oregon garden in the next few weeks. I love gardens!! Will need to begin a new vase collection…
