Nature does not care

An accident?
Sibling murder? Parental murder?
The ants don’t care.

 

Instead of a political rant

Hazel in April sun.
By now, there are more leaves. ;-)

Roses.

Sage galore.

Hydrangea petiolaris.

Voilà:
Future elderflower liqueur. ;-)

Lots of cherries this year?

Beers & Books (449) – Jóanes Nielsen: Die Erinnerungen

Brahmadellarnir

 Jóanes Nielsen *5 April 1953

Summer's arrived

Fruit and lilac blossoms are over, 
and so is the tulip display;

but along with poppies
and right on schedule for Pentecost ...

peonies (in German "Pfingstrosen" 
/ Pentecost roses) bloomed.

Same with roses, ...

Solomon's seal, bluebells ...

... daylilies, and much more ...
as if to soothe me
when I think with anger and contempt
of all those who coldly and calculatingly
walk over hundreds of thousands,
over millions of corpses...

Self portrait on fern.

* [For first time visitors]: 
Typo in the title? Nah. It's just that 
I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.

Happy Birthday, Lluis!

 

Lluis Llach* 7 May 1948

On the road

In full bloom.

Lilac

Lilac is blooming
All windows open all day
its scent everywhere
*
Dia de sol clar,
finestres ben obertes,
olor de liles.
(Paula)

I, d’on ve l’olor?
De sota el finestral!
L’olor de vida.

Coffee time with Droods

... well, and to welcome May:
Strawberries & whipped cream.

Cherry blossom

Inmidst all wars

cherry blossoms

are going to tell

life could be much more easy.

For sad reason

Sometimes I wish I were but a humble gardener
with love for literature and poetry
who does not read the news.
