spring newness

much quoted John Lennon: "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans". for those of us who live constantly in danger of spending half our lives planning for the future (thus reducing the actual living by 50%), this is rather prescient. I plan not to be one of those people, but I worry that I spend a lot of time planning that.

this was taken yesterday, when the sun drained the colour out of everything, and the edges of new petals were edged in white. this is how I like myself, bleeding into the background.
