winter canvas No. 2

drinking flowers

Contemplation

After the blazing sun,
a dancing flame.

After the boiling kettle,
a song / a warm cup.

After drinking tea,
what remains.

Porch steps in the snow

micro-garden

Fragile beauty, rising up from the mist.

The Faculty of Medical and Veterinary Sciences at the University of Bristol runs an annual competition, The Art of Science, in which research scientists are challenged to look for “aesthetic beauty in their experimental work.” Winning photographs are posted on the University’s website. Shown here: Mould, by Dr. Soloviev.

"Look down: a river of grass. Look up: a velvet lost
and found. Look inside: no straws to drink that dusk."
