Geranium: Pelargonium Peltatum

 

Beauty of Eastbourne

Pelargonium Peltatum

October 4, 2003

 

The fall sunlight

Casts a sheen across the petals

Of Eastbourne,

Beautifying the textures that nature

Has given the flower.

---BT


 

"I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers."

-----Claude Monet

"Little things seem nothing, buy they give peace, like those meadow flowers which individually seem odorless but all together perfume the air."-----Georges Bernanos

 

The Beauty of Eastbourne is well named.


 

Flowers bloom in Spring.

New life is born after the

Long lifeless winter.

-----Rebecca

----Henry David Thoreau

"It is at the edge of a petal that love awaits."

-----William Carlos Williams


"Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers -- and never succeeding."

-----Marc Chagall

The Beauty of Eastbourne in full morning California sunlight has a neon like quality.

 

"A person should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul."

-----Goethe
