Amaryllis: Now She Is Three


 Amaryllis has been joined on her stalk by two sisters. I love looking at these flowers, seeing their line and structure as the morning sun shines from behind. I've loved translucent light since I was a little girl. A saleswoman in a jewelry store was kind enough to show me some nice porcelain china and showed me the differences between opaque, translucent, and transparent objects, with a fine china cup being the "translucent" example. Those few moments she spent with me, in addition to other occasions when some kind people took the time to show a poor, neglected girl beautiful things have made a difference in my life: I do now have a set of nice dinnerware and I love the light that shows the details of flowers.
