June Promise

A perfect June morning, clear, sharp light, cool temperature and coffee on the terrace watching the dew-covered peonies begin to open.

Early Morning

Walked outside into slanted light illuminating the nasturtium leaves. They had become semi transparent, so that the leaves and stems behind shone through. Usually I only pay attention to the great shape and strong veins of the leaves; their dot in the middle which always makes me think of stars; this added a layer of complexity that I had not expected. Where the light was able to shine straight through the leaf was a chartreuse world.  One of those wow moments.
