The morning light uses my 40 year old plant to paint a grid across the wall and onto the painting I did in Brussels, Belgium, 1980. The subtleties of light, reflection, line and shape called to me one morning and I thought I'd share them with you. I would call it a "still life," but the sun kept rising -- that's a good thing.

Close-up of the Goatsbeard (Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon) Tragopogon pratensis flowerhead before it earns its folk law name and closes up for the afternoon and evening. More commonly known as Salsify, this beautiful wildflower grows on poor soils alongside footpaths and across meadows. When the head turns to seed, it produces a spectacular ball of ‘parachute’ supported seeds, ready to be distributed by a convenient breeze.

It was a nice sunny day day in mid-Winter. I had to get out of the office and enjoy the sunshine, so I walked the orchid trail at Baluk Willam Reserve in Victoria, Australia. I really didn't expect to find anything - until I came across this glorious - and very early - Cobra Greenhood Orchid. Proper name is Pterostylis Grandiflora.
