You Never Know What Might Turn Up in Your Own Backyard

This post is all about Flora and Fauna.  Over the last few years, I have gone through fits and starts, taking shots of the things that are growing in my backyard (courageous little suckers!) and on my travels.  I love taking  pictures of flowers.  they are so obliging, offering plenty of colour and texture.  I find that it can be tricky to find a new way to capture the unique characteristics of something so over-photographed, but I keep trying. 

She sees the world through rose-coloured glasses
Painted skies and graceful romances
I see a world that's tired and scared
Of living on the edge too long
Where does she get off telling me
That love could save us all, save us all.

She takes my hand and leads me to nowhere town.
No matter where I stand it's always neutral ground,
And in the cool of the evening blue
I feel so tired and alone
Where does she get off telling me
That love could save us all, save us all.

And it's day after day
I keep hanging around can you tell me why
Night after night, yeah I know I should leave
But there's something in those eyes
That keeps me hanging on, I'm hypnotized
It breaks my heart and I don't know why
