garden












i planned to clip the buxus hedges this week
but instead i'm laying on the couch with a very nasty cold
these photos were taken last week.
it's too cold but the garden doesn't seem to mind that much.

dc Frida




i can see you Frida in your garden
the ever changing blue of the walls
the chatting of parrots and monkeys
you, an exotic flower amid it all

i can see you Frida
clever eyes in the mirror

painting

happy and sad
lonely and loved
desperate and hoping
drugged and bereft

painting

your name as strong as your gaze
your posture upright and proud
trying to defeat the pain
passion is calling out

they've told me many stories
trying to 'explain' you that way
still i look for your truth in your paintings
listening for what you have to say 




thanks dear Patrice for this theme.
 Frida will always be an inspiration,
as you will find out at Patrice's beautiful place.


 fine weekend to you all

dc the trickster




quick, slick and clever
king and queen
fool and beggar
air
water
a mountain 
a mouse

going her own way
fearless and undaunted

 you hear her laughter
 you turn your head
she is already gone


thanks to the ever inspiring Veronica we got a wonderful theme.
you can visit her lovely blog to find out about the other creative souls
playing with 'the trickster'


sunny weekend to you

my little star is spending his holidays with us.
he loooooooves his toy animals and exploring the garden,
looking for the real thing.
 eating ice is a serious business .
