Some jump out,
Intent on being
Captured
By the lens,
The center
Of focused
Attention,
While others
Fade delicately
Into the blurry
Background
To observe,
Potentially
Just as content.

Hahaha. I once did an evangelist parody and used that line. It is best delivered by having the audience hum The Battle Hymn of the Republic and call for a few amens between lines. A lot of fun and hope I’m forgiven later.

You go ahead and do all that, but I’m a’holding on to my money, Amen-glue promised on the walls or not. As for the music – can you add some “Baby-shark” to the playlist. ๐

I like that, And is that your own photo? If so, might you tell me the flower? Five petalled: a member of the strawberry-buttercup=rose family?

Yes, my photo, but I have no clue what the flower is! I took the photo in the royal gardens in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It was not a wild flower but a cultivated one. Beautiful isn’t it?

An astute observation on the character of plants (some are show-offs aren’t they?)
LikeLiked by 1 person
Some indeed are. And even within the show-off-ish’ plants there are those flowers that are more ‘wall flowers’ than ‘life of the party’ … ๐
