On being Golden

Golden by Jo Bradford

..........

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

by Robert Frost

Childhood Cheer

Childhood Cheer ~ By Jo Bradford

What with all this freezing weather, harsh winds and those looming grey skies, I am feeling the need for a bit of cheer. Luckily for me, I have been so busy over the past few months that I have not had time to process many of the lovely summery photos I made a while ago.

Today my studio was a bright and suny place thanks to these lovely golden buttercup photographs.

Incidentally, in the language of flowers the Buttercup represents childhood, cheerfulness and the desire for riches.

Happy Monday xx
