And now that the rage of thy rapture is satiate with revel and ravin and spoil of the snow, And the branches it brightened are broken, and shattered the tree-tops that only thy wrath could lay low,

Algernon Charles Swinburne - "March: An Ode"

I'll be honest, I'm not really sure yet what that poem is trying to say - I just know that ”-satiate with revel and ravin and spoil of the snow,” is just a badass phrase. The kind of phrase I hope I'm smart enough to understand someday!

Today is going to be really good pictures of flowers and really good pictures of a mule and some donkeys. What can I say? It's what I'm good at and I'm lucky to have found my calling.

It was cold when I took these pictures yesterday. 14° with a dozen mile an hour wind. The wind chill was somewhere around “cold as hell” verging on “What the F*#k?!” I couldn't wear gloves and still work the camera so I took pictures until my fingers hurt.

I'm going to have to work until I die so I have an inexhaustible source of amaryllis.

That's all I got room for - Thanks for dropping by!
