thistles


The haiku poet Taneda Santoka inspires many of my etegami, but in this case my main inspiration came from a photo taken by my middle sister, whom I haven't seen in more than thirteen years. (sigh)

  1. The plant's flower I like probably the most observing.

  3. I always loved thistles. In my bug days, I'd crouch and look inside. Bees, hoverflies, bumblebees, beetles, crab spiders, etc. etc. I like the way you handled the flower buds and the purple blossoms.

  4. I like the curve of purple suggesting the flower, and the thistles all leaning in the breeze. A beautiful image.
