Roses And Macarons On Midsummer's Eve


After a day of relentless rains,
the sun broke through the clouds
just as she had begun to set,

and in the very moment
I had left Dommayer's Café and walked out
through their beautiful garden.

I caught the roses with the raindrops
in the beautiful soft light of
midsummer's eve,

minutes before the evening sank
into the Lapis Lazuli of the "Blue Hour".

These macarons
have graced my home for a month now.

I could not bear to eat them,
so I gave them a place of honour
and to my delight,
they keep nicely,

greeting me every morning
with a smile.

  3. These pastel pinks and greens are so yummy! But how disciplined of you to save your macarons.

    I wish that we would get some rain for the parched garden; it has been threatening all day, but so far, no refreshment.

  4. A tiny bouquet of macarons? How sweet! Just be careful not to get crumbs up your nose if you sniff them.

  5. Each rose is so unique and beautiful. And your macarons are like little flowers themselves.

    Happy Midsummer's Eve to you.

  15. You have a knack for photographing roses. I am especially in awe when you photograph the not-so-perfect or dying ones, and they look as beautiful as the flawless ones.
