Flower

I still feel cheered by this photo I took with my phone a few weeks ago. First the flower fluttered down from a windowbox, outside a Tottenham Court Road pub. Passers-by didn't seem to see it, yet they never stepped on it either. (Well, eventually somebody did.) Meanwhile, these two people came and stood by it for ages, talking.

Great image Sarah...and she is clearly a ballet dancer too!
i must have read this blog a dozen times now, Sarah. Thanks to you, not a stary leaf can cross my path any more without my anting to write a story about it and whee it is on its journey. Minumental task as I live next to a tree laden park, but I am up to the challenge!
even more monumental since my dog could have typed that last post with less errors. Free translations of my typos upon request.
Thank you again poetiquejustis - and that might be just what I need to inspire me to start posting to this blog a bit more regularly!
My own Essay blogs are TeeGee: Essays and Opera Nobilia Essays. I heard/saw your Montaigne book when you were interviews, but I forget where. However, after as a lifelong lover of Lucretius (and I am 77 years old, a retired art historian), I got the Kindle edition of first Greenblatt (also after reviews on FM and TV) , then Montaigne, because miracle dictu I had never read him, in Screech's edition for its annotations (Greenblatt said), I just ordered your book as a corrective, after making sure you aren't a convert! I mean, I wouldn't even like Sir Thomas Browne if I had to go by his Religio Medici! Also I ran a whole series of blog posts on the Nature Morte in Photography, and this photo of yours is excellent.

Google corrected TWICE. I wrote 'mirabile dictu. Also, I wrote 'interviewed' P.L.
From central and cold Wisconsin, I viewed your photo. It gives me a lift and so does your imagination.
