Being rooted makes plants easier to photograph than animals, but plants do twitch with the breeze and ruin careful compositions. Cautiously optimistic, I shoot repeatedly and hope a few images catch the air’s calm moments. This post’s haiku and images suggest that sometimes optimists win.

they enter a benign world.
No leaf eaters yet.

Thanks. So glad to have a digital camera; the cost of film for all the discarded shots would have been sky high.

Methinks I detect a metaphor. Lovely, my friend.

Thanks. Yup, a metaphor. Googling [plant neurology] turns up some interesting observations of what plants really can do w/o neurons, plus some interesting squabbles about how to talk about such things.

<smile> Benign… for the moment.
And, yes, some very interesting squabbles about just how important neurons are to the notion of ‘sentience’, given just how wise, resourceful and community-minded plants are. Especially when dealing with less benign conditions. 🙂
Quantum mechanics also has some interesting things to say about interactions between various states of matter/energy.
The universe is a stranger place than the imaginations of you or I can contemplate. 🙂
