November bouquet

[asakiyume]

It's a bouquet of shades and textures. The old-man's-beard and the milkweed are so soft; the amaranth-like stuff is prickly, some of the others are scratchy.

I love it!

And I have a picture just for YOU but I want to print it up and send it as a card, because.

And this icon is not related, no, not at all. It's random that I chose this.

Such beautiful colours, but as a 'deep Autumn' I would say that, wouldn't I? :o)

[yamamanama.livejournal.com]

It looks appropriate for when the color disappears from the world.

How gorgeous! And how fragile... Nobody sneeze!

[xjenavivex.livejournal.com]

thank you

[queenoftheskies.livejournal.com]

That's very pretty.

I have a bouquet drying here in my office. (The ladies who work for me gave them to me for Boss' Day.) They look pretty November-ish now. I'm letting them dry so I can collect the seeds.

[osprey-archer.livejournal.com]

I'll look forward to it!

very nice, beautiful arrangement.

That is very, very beautiful.

I can fell it from here...

As J and I were I working on planting stuff on our balcony, I was thinking of you and milkweed and whether it is the right time (in my life, I mean) to ask for milkweed seeds. :P

Beautiful, in a decaying way!

[oiktirmos.livejournal.com]

The bottom photo is ethereal.

[sartorias.livejournal.com]

Oh, that is quite, quite lovely!

[coldhighmountainwind.wordpress.com (from livejournal.com)]

Lovely photographs.

[gracegiver]

That last photo - phew. Just gorgeous abstract. Should be framed.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

Yeah--which happens around now.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

I'll pinch my nose if the urge comes upon me :-)

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

My pleasure (I love your icon).

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

What a great idea about the seeds! What sorts of flowers are they?

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

Thanks--it was all just roadside bounty.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

Those first ones, the flower-looking ones, are some kind of burr, with a double prong that hooks you.

Any time you're ready <3

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

If I can look that good at that stage in my life, I'll be well pleased :-)

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

I love-love-love milkweed seeds. Brown-faced princesses with the most beautiful gauzy white dresses.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

Thanks--I had fun picking them.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

Thank you--it's good subject matter.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

I never know what's good! I'm glad you like it.

[heliopausa.livejournal.com]

Lovely - I love the subtleties of shades.

[yamamanama.livejournal.com]

There's still green on the trees here.

Also, did you see my response with the Indian languages in head in the clouds?

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

I did! That was a lot of work! You must have had to ask for the transliteration on each of those, right?

(I have something I want to say over there; I'll leave a comment later)

[yamamanama.livejournal.com]

There's a "read phonetically" option, which I have set. So, it wasn't actually that much work, just translating the passage into each language and copy-pasting each translation.

I'm not sure what all those diacritics mean. But it's enough to see that the two families are vastly different and the different languages within the families look kind of similar but don't seem to be that mutually intelligible.

Thank you for seeing beauty everywhere.

Thank *you* for sharing beautiful things in this world with me. Eager to read your post on banana pudding :-)
