Past flowers.
Yesterday I returned to old photos of my kitchen garden back in Virginia. Today’s nostalgia is for flowers from the borders. All were taken over several growing seasons, in Portsmouth, Virginia.

An entomological love song.
And there’s a praying mantis
Prancing on your bathtub

I try my best
To put the priest inside a jam jar
