happy sunday gillena
Lovely images....enjoyed especially thinking of the 'scent of twilight.'
ReplyDeleteDressing in a kimono is a very difficult task... If she has to hide, so that only the "blossom's fragrance" see her back, I wonder who she is trying to hide from.
ReplyDeleteThe second piece made me think of Jasmines in the night. And with the kimono piece preceding it, I couldn't help but picture Geisha on their way to entertain others...
Thanks for sharing Brian

Love the back and front blooming of flowers ~
ReplyDeleteHappy Women's Day to you, too!
ReplyDeleteI don't believe I've ever smelled a jasmine! I like the idea of flowers at the front gate--it's very welcoming.

Love the jasmine smell... there is always something special with a smell
ReplyDeleteI especially love the "scent of twilight". Always beautiful when flavored by blossoms.
ReplyDeleteJasmine is so intoxicating as it drifts on the wind....
ReplyDeleteThe scent of flowers can be so alluring. Jasmines have a very rich aroma..
