Ode to a Mirrored Vase

A mirrored vase (pronounce that "vahz") was given us as a Christmas gift...I filled it with blue flowers and placed it in the back entry to my home, a little back porch that opens onto the driveway, and the door we use to come and go every day. There this lovely lily-shaped vase catches the morning sun. Well, you know what happened next....it caught the sun...and my eye... so, here is my photographic essay called "Ode to a Mirrored Vase."


What, you say, is all the fuss about? Just wait...


Lovely, no?


....a mosaic of mirrored fragments, bright with color....


....light is flung in hand fulls, like stars, across the surrounding surfaces...



And here you have it, in all its sun-lit splendor. Something pretty to greet us as we come and go.

Sara,
So simple yet so stunningly beautiful, just a lovely set of photos to look at, and as always with yours I look at them enlarged to see the full detail.

Thank you for telling me where the wisteria is growing.
