Imagery of Light 
Dylan Thomas’s poem “The Force That Through The Green Fuse Drives The Flower” immediately pops into my mind….wonderful, Sheila!
nice… thanks, Cynthia – I’ll have to go look that up and read.
I think Cynthia is right about the Dylan Thomas poem. I love this picture — I’ve come back to look at it with more leisure.
thanks, John – thistles are great little bundles of purple – and the bees go crazy for those flowers.
Striking!
thanks, Alex!
