Everyday, I am inspired by the art of my sister, Karla. This year, she agreed to select, from her thousands of flower images, some of her own favorites to share with us today, on her birthday. Thank you, Karla!

Wishing you long life and joy every day!

The Freshest Flowers


are those strongly rooted,
alive to sun and dew,
each one distinct
as a crystal of snow.

Look closely. Lean in.
Wonder at varied hues,
at pattern with infinite--
but not-quite--repetition.

Call this Nature 
or call this Art:
a flower captures
the human heart.
