APRIL RAIN SONG
Let the rain kiss you.
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby.
The rain makes still pools on
the sidewalk.
The rain makes running pools in the gutter.
The rain plays a little sleep-song on our roof at night -- And
I love the rain.
----Langston Hughes
"Spring comes: the flowers
learn their colored shapes."
-----Maria Konopnicka
Icelandic Poppies: Montecito
"Flowers leave some of their
fragrance in the hand that bestows them."
----Chinese Proverb
"The urge to create, the urge to
photograph, comes in part from the deep desire to live with more
integrity, to live more in peace with the world, and possibly
to help others to do so the same."----Wynn
Bullock
Icelandic Poppies: Vail, Colorado
"Many eyes go through the
meadow, but few see the flowers in it."
----Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Happiness is to hold flowers
in both hands."
-----Japanese Proverb
Vail, Colorado: An Iris blooms.
"Photography for me is not looking,
it's feeling. If you can't feel what you're looking at, then you're
never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your
pictures."----Diane Arbus
"I perhaps owe having become
a painter to flowers."
-----Claude Monet
Icelandic Poppies: Near Jasper National
Park, Canada
"The best and most beautiful
things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must
be felt with the heart."
----Helen Keller
