A frustrating day of computer malfunctions, internal and external, and ongoing email woes. My recent spam deluge has slowed to the more usual trickle, but for the last month I've had frequent, lengthy spells of mail not opening at all, arriving hours/days after it has been sent, and deleted messages opening when a 'live' message in the inbox has been clicked. At this rate I'll still be tackling my backlog at Christmas.
Something calming and contemplative is needed, hence posting these seed heads taken on a recent trip out of town. Looking at them has made me pick up my copy of Plants and Places
"I collect seedheads," she says, "stones, flints, shells, broken pottery, wood, driftwood, seaweeds, coral, lichen growing on branches, and so on. Many of these objects relate to very specific places and, when I'm composing still lifes in the studio, they carry memories of where they were found."
I love your Friday Flowers idea, and the fact that they can be any kind of flowers.

What a perfect quote Karen, it has certainly stilled my mind, I hope it has helped you too. Technical stress is the so very frustrating.

You poor thing! I'd love to offer advice but feel sadly inadequate - especially as I have no excuse for the huge backlog in my blog inbox.
Meditating on the beautiful seedheads must be the answer to stilling the mind - lovely photos!
