I went to Kew Gardens today, partly to see their tropical extravaganza exhibition, but mainly to take photos of flowers. Particularly snowdrops. Don't ask me why snowdrops: it was just something that had to be done. Anyways, many - many! - photos were taken, and this is probably the best snowdrop photo of the day. There's 7 more photos (not all of snowdrops) on my Flickr Stream for those with time to spare to pop over and coo at my slowly improving photo skillz.

A poem by Osip Mandelstam, written in 1921. Russian original, recited (*ochin,
ochin* amateurishly) by me.

Those are gorgeous. I especially love your photos of the banana and flamingo flowers, although they're all well done, I think.
ReplyDeleteOrchids are stunning, and that one is no exception. When I saw that photo, I thought that your poetry is similar, visceral and powerful, yet vulnerable. Does that make any sense at all? -I'm new to this.
Best wishes with your sci-fi writing!
