Description
There's a girl in the mirror.
I wonder who she is? Sometimes I think I know her, and sometimes I wish I did.
There is a story in her eyes, lullabies and goodbye.
When she's looking back at me,
I can tell...She's hurting inside.
Thank you for your comments and favs on my last upload "For Boston."

A beauty Carin.
What an image! And one of my favorite sorts of six-legged people made a cameo appearance! The colors are amazing and that pale, white central interior bit of the flower is rather intriguing. I always "expect" color, and to see whiteness is just a fun surprise, even though it should be there, even though it is there, it's still a surprise. And a bonus: there's an insect! Not only that but this is such an elegant image, I love the touch of dark green in the upper background, and the woody, thorny border along the bottom. There's a sense of mystery in this, and a really nice mix of light and dark, pale and dark, color and not-color. Great byplay. The writeup makes me think of a film, "the Mirror" by Andrei Tarkovsky, one of my favorite "visionary" directors. You know, one of those Chip-directors who doesn't speak English? His films are often full of really complicated emotions, and stunning visuals: one of which involves water (nearly ALL of his images involve water!) But in this particular image, a young woman, in a room that's...um...leaking...approaches a mirror, with water on it, wipes it, and rather than her reflection as you'd expect to see it, there's an old lady staring back at her. That is one of the arresting scenes in a movie composed entirely of arresting scenes. Your writing captures that essence. This is great.
Wonderful flower with delicate colors, the contrast with the thorny rod is superb! Excellent capture with a great sharpness!
What a lovely colored bindweed. And the little poem so Lovely but also sad.

Such a beautiful flower and poignant poem. I've seen that girl in the mirror, and though the pain is there, so is the hope that comes with each new day and morning glory. CC
What an absolutely gorgeous blossom. Wow. I love the lavender lines along the ribs. Mis jou vrek baie, Dierbaar ...
Beautiful picture and words...
Interesting poem to add to an image with a bug inside a flower! I bet Freud would have found this interesting!
What Chip said; and I say this is a really lovely closeup of one of my favourite flowers, Carin; well done!
wonderful in all aspects
Splendid image! :)
There is that "Je ne sais quoi" about the Morning glory, which takes my breath away - so simple and yet bewitching at the same time ... I will never tire of their vibrancy, BB
beautiful work Carin!
So beautiful to absorb with all your senses..... Wonderful capture...
A lovely capture, colors and I hope there is a smile in that mirror!
