sometimes we are bound together by our wounds. sometimes we are bound together by our beauty. these seed pods are bound together by both.
lunaria seed casings
poujol sur orb, languedoc, france
the end of two eras happened on two consecutive days. yesterday we said goodbye to our daughter eva at the barcelona airport, and, a little wet-eyed, watched her thread her way through the security line, on her way to california for the first semester of her freshman year of college. today, my younger son became a teenager. for his birthday dinner, after a month in france, he chose a hamburger and fries. we ate them together on the terrace, a family of three for the first time in 13 years. can somebody please make the clock stop for just a couple of days? i need a breather.

I can imagine how your heart is feeling. Where does this thing called ‘time’ go so quickly? What I wouldn’t give to go back and re-live a few chosen weeks of my life. Time when my children were little ones. Grasp hold of all of it and hold on tight. xo
ps–love the unique plant, a lot…

Could be some type of lonicera (honeysuckle), maybe Lonicera implexa? http://floressilvestresdelmediterraneo.blogspot.com/2013/09/caprifoliaceae-lonicera-implexa.html
