gathering pollen...

...from an autumn bloom

the wonderful thing about - autumn flowers is their color - they have this great deep saturated richness to them - like this one - a sort of burgundy magenta - if that is even a color - you know me though - making it up to suit my own self - it's just that i look at this bloom - and see rich drapes in a parlor - in a french manor house - can't you see it? - perhaps it's a bit of a stretch of - the old imagination yet the bee didn't - care about such things - he was only interested in slurping up - the last remaining pollen so get - out of his way - at one point i had a couple bees - flying into my hair - it was difficult not to panic - to remember they really weren't interested - in me at all - simply got sidetracked for some reason - so i got them untangled and redirected - whew... - then together we focused on making it...

happy day.....
