"Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? no." -Picasso 



from Bonde Bee



"The only reason for making a buzzing-noise that I know of is because you're a bee...The only reason for being a bee that I know of is making honey....and the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it. "
~ Winnie the Pooh in A.A. Milne's 'The House at Pooh Corner'

orange tomatoes from the Flyte Family Farm

"I cannot pretend to feel impartial about colors.  I rejoice with the brilliant ones and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns."  ~Winston Churchill   (Do you believe that Churchill said this?  Nope, me either.  )

Tulips from Kelly Lor, lilies of the valley from Jean Statz
