Thank you! It is hard to resist such bright colors and fine texture as these plants provide; so a good image is a matter of trying unusual light, focus and angle of view. I believe a flower should not be only a flower.

Interesting images, Maria, and from someone who is multilingual (do you speak and write english, russian and hebrew?)... and who appreciates chocolate!

Thank you Yes I do speak and write English, Russian and Hebrew. Russian is actually my mother tongue, but I have been living in Israel for many years. As for English I've been practicing alot

Maria, your command of written American english language is impressive!

If I were Russian I think I would find it difficult to translate the differences in written and spoken english from Great Britain, Australia, Georgia (U.S.) or even Maine. There is a joke here in Maine about a native Mainer who pulls into a gasoline service station with a car that has a flat tire and the service station attendant asks if he needs air (which in the Maine accent is pronounced "AYH") and the driver responds by saying yes (which in the Maine accent is pronounced "AYUH"). Or another example for written english; someone from London would speak of a dustbin lorry which is to say a garbage truck in many other parts of the world.

Personally, I can understand the universal language of chocolate (difficult to misinterpret and can be enjoyed in silence).

Thank you very much Though ironically enough sometimes I have a hard time expressing what I feel, and other times it's easier to do in English than in my own language Sometimes I also write poetry. If it interests you I can link you to a few I have written

Wow, I didn't know there were so many versions of spoken English XD I think I can only tell between British and American... That's totally insane

Well I guess that's universal

Thank you! Bulbs, to me, are like a surprise because by the time they bloom I have forgotten about them, and then it's, "Oh, hello, you aren't a weed are you?"

Lol. I guess that makes you think twice before pulling stuff out of the ground then.

Thank you! You are right, it was peaceful... and fun, I playing the part of a nearsighted caterpillar peering around the side of an enormous tulip and squinting at the distance with a sigh, how could I not appreciate the solitude, that is until I was eaten by a blue jay. Well, I got better.
