Antisthenes says that in a certain faraway land the cold is so intense that words freeze as soon as they are uttered, and after some time then thaw and become audible so that words spoken in winter go unheard until the next summer.
Plutarch, (circa 46 – 120 AD) said that
Your Graphics are always so, so very good
What a fabulous image… and welcome for summer!
Beautiful capture of this flower and veining detail! The contrasts work very well in the sunlight.
You’ve captured the flower of the lamb’s ears so uniquely, with plenty of negative space to really keep out focus on its upright glory. I love what you shared about words freezing. I’m not at all familiar with Antisthenes but am quite intrigued.
*our* focus (not ‘out’)
good capture of the frozen plant Sherri with wonderful graphics… i like the quote as well…..peter:)
Interesting quote. I had to stop to think about it.
Beautiful photo of the flower in the light . So do you hear now the words of winter ?
Beautiful are the words and the matching photo
The B&W can evoke cold, like winter. The words give us context. Beautifully done.
