This weekend
I sat under a magnolia tree.
I must have sat there for at least two minutes
Then I thought, I really must get a picture of this
beautiful tree and I got up to fetch my camera.
I sat down again under the magnolia tree.
Then I saw another sycamore seedling
(not pictured)
and I got up to pull it out.
I didn't sit down again.
It's a character
flaw.
That first photo is a delightful spring greeting.
ReplyDeleteLoving your photos and your ingenious interpretation of a magnolia in your text........................... brilliant.
ReplyDeleteBe still, dear friend, be still...
ReplyDeleteThat's the thing about sitting down outdoors - so much else to do! I had a bench on my allotment and never managed to do more than 30 seconds of sitting on it before I spotted something else that got my on my feet again! It's magnolia country here, and they promise to be glorious again this year.
ReplyDeleteThat's kind of thing I would do. The magnolia is beautiful. I drove down a road with so many of them yesterday, now I'm wishing I'd stopped to take some pictures. They make my heart sing.
ReplyDeleteI share your flaw.
ReplyDeleteWe loved the Jeeves and Wooster play, by the way. It's such fun - there were all these rather prosperous-looking Londonites, sitting with their co-ordinated outfits and conversing in rather yah voices, and then the thing starts and they laugh like drains at something silly. As did we, in our less co-ordinated togs and Edinburgh accents.
I am sitting down here and looking at your photo of the tree, which surely counts as at least 20 per cent contribution toward the sitting down not achieved by you?
