My Photography: Hot Pink Sunshine
May 17, 2011
My niece sits
near a Palo Verde tree
blooming in my parents' backyard.
Considered "dirty trees" because
of the blanket of blooms they leave behind...
all images mine
Dirty?
Now that's what I call beauty in imperfection!
I found the sunshiny Arizona flowering trees
cheerfully vibrant, not unlike my niece Sofia.

Sofia of the vibrant red hair
who loves pettiskirts,
leaping,
George Marks - untitled mixed media on panel
all things pink,
with Gracie
and cuddly sweet.
Soaking up the precious rays?
Feelin' hot pink sunshine?
What's blooming near you?
Peace to you right where you are.

Sofia is as beautiful as all the colors around her....really love that first image, stunning. And I have to thank you for introducing me to George Marks, loving his work!!! No sunshine here just sloid rain for the last three days and our flowers or nodding to the ground but the colors pop in this gloom.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images! And if that's "dirty," I never want to see a "clean" tree again!
