The Japanese Anemones in our garden are at the height
of their beauty.  Glorious bright white flowers like
small Camelias sit on long thin stems against nests of
large green leaves.  The leaves come first, covering the
garden, spreading their domain, then much later the
flowers stretch up and are the delight of late summer and
fall.

I did a small watercolour of some I brought inside,
feeling guilty as I cut them from the impressive mass.
It has been a good day, packed with work,
with time for dinner with Sam and Steven.  Sam made
a great dinner and we listened with pleasure to
a great interview with the painter, Frank Stella on Ideas,
on CBC.  This sent my brain into vast, colourful images
of his work.

Have a seeing-what-you-love day
