Waiting In Solitude

Musical Cherubs
A troupe of five cherubs are nestled in one of the garden paths at Middleton Place.
You first see it down a straight shrub-lined path, which draws you in.
Last week when I was there some late Camellias were in bloom.
A closer look of the Cherubs; it looks like the statue has recently been cleaned, which rather highlights their imperfections.
Years ago Ted called this statue “Freaky Babies” so of course that is what I think every time I pass it. He a nice B&W version from a visit in February which in a post he aptly named Freaky Babies.
Silent Sunday: Leaf Ballet
Leaf Floating on Pond
A snippet of nature that made me pause as I wandered the edge of a pond.
Green Heron Silhouette
Sometimes the light just isn’t with you.
But you like the subject. A Green Heron on a gnarly branch worked for me.
I took the color out of the first two, but left the duckweed green in this last one.
Tracing Wheel
I’ve taken hundreds of images of reeds similar to these that are along the edges the various rice field impoundments I frequent, with and without insects, birds and lizards. This image from July shows a line of the tree-like structures of the seed heads and dragonfly.
Earlier this week this stalk caught my eye, the strands somehow stuck together. It reminds me of the Dritz tracing wheel used in sewing to transfer pattern markings. Or the long fingered wheel of a hay rake.
Grass Triangles With Dragonfly
Triangles of grass and their reflections caught my eye.
The dragonfly was a bonus.
Gardenia Blossom, After A Rain
Open Magnolia Blossom, After a Rain
Freshly dampened by the rain, this Magnolia Blossom was reaching for the sky.
And from a little different angle.
