Uprooted.

Last Sunday I was gardening and accidentally pulled up these buttercups. I felt sorry for them, so I put them in water and took some pictures. It was rainy out - these are real raindrops, not hose water.

Closeup. Wet.


Wet.


I like the enamel like texture of the flowers but just below they look more crepe paperish.


Drooping.


Below you can see the enamel like texture of the flowers


Uprooted. By mistake.

Way-Back Road.






Way Back Road
filled with turns and
lasting memories.
During school years
I rode our school bus
under this bridge...
...spanning the
border of states
Illinois and Wisconsin.
It looks no older.
It looks no worse.
Like it's been cast
a timeless curse.
