Faux-Sun

Deep in the middle of a February freeze,

with temperatures averaging -15 Celsius/5 Fahrenheit

for the next two weeks,

I've decided to create some faux sunshine

of my own

to chase away the cold.

Beauty Defies Colour

Here's an Echinacea seed head.

Its unique shape, its points and depths

Capture the light and emphasize the shadows

Creating a canvas on which

Every colour enhances

Its Beauty differently

Go ahead and choose your favourite hue

Starlight

Sunlight finds this Clematis seed head;

I imagine it's like looking into

the middle of a

Star.
