I see you at the grocery store, beside bright lemons
and across from deep green avocados. Under humming fluorescents,
you stand regally, striking a serpent pose of superiority.
Imagine the ancient Aztec warriors’ delight in a days
exhausting search for your delectable beauty.

Nice! Orchids make for great shots. Intricate delicate shapes and soft muted colours.

Another lovely conception! The alliteration is precise and not TOO overdone (beside-bright/grocery-green/stand-striking-serpent-superiority-search/ancient-Aztec/delight-days-delectable). On balance quite nice! (I hope you will not mind if I point out the two misspellings in the third line. “avacados” should be “avocados,” and “flourescents” should be “fluorescents.”) Spelling…schmelling…who needs it! 🙂

You’re welcome! You may find the word history of “avocado” EXTREMELY interesting! I was surprised to find the connection between the Aztecs and avocados! And I had no idea that avocado and abogado were related! And there is soooo much more here:

A MUST read…short but enthralling!

I can’t resist purchasing one. And then in no time I kill it. Every single time. I should stop trying to torture the poor things. Lovely shot! 🙂

Right, me too. It’s just so amazing that we can find these plants so readily when they were once considered such a treasure. I’ll pass your compliment on to Wolf who shot this one.
