E - Eggplant blossom


This is the blossom of the eggplant. Isn't it the most ethereal colour?   I'm glad I found this photo in my archives because I was stuck for the subject of the today's E post.  The only words that were running through my mind last night as I went to sleep were:  enervated and exhaustion.  There's too much going on in my life these days and my goal of simplicity and balance has flown out the window.  So it's nice to experience and be entranced by the the beauty of this elegant blossom.

  1. And, right there, in your photo is the simplicity and balance. Hope your exhausting work is soon done. The garden - a reward - awaits.

  3. Must plant an Eggplant today.....

    That is one of my most favorite colors.

    I laughed when you wrote how busy and wanted to simplify your life. Now with all your projects, the watercolor class, blog, the dog, the garden, fixing up the rental..... and then to top it off your going to start the A to Z everyday blog... way to cut back.

    BUT

    I am so interested and happy your doing this blog, it has been a treat for me to see what you come up with everyday.
    Great posts so far !

    cheers, parsnip

  10. Hey Parsnip, you've caught me out there. I can't really complain about being busy as all (well, most of them anyway, are things I've chosen to do.
    I hope you enjoy the ABC posts as much as I enjoy your comments.
