the flowers at once, as if the earth had been unconscious all
day and were now waking."

is always on his doorstep."

"When you take a flower in your hand and really look
at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world
to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they
have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether
they want to or not." ----Georgia O'Keeffe

"I perhaps owe having become a painter to
flowers."
----Claude Monet
A contrast-a white rose with pink
begonias in the shade.
-----Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Many eyes go through the meadow, but few
see the flowers in it."
"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
the same."-----Wynn Bullock

Hanging roses.
Photographer's note: "I took
this one this afternoon. These roses were hanging down from several
feet above my head."
"Just living is not enough,"
said the butterfly.
One must have sunshine, freedom
and a little flower."
----Hans Christian Anderson
