Flower Art, As Promised. The Gerber Daily And The White Rose Fall In Love. Children’s Food Day 4.

by Jon Katz

I had another great Zoom meeting with my community of blog readers, a way of making human contact in a world where we rarely get to see who we are talking to.

I go to the Cambridge Fantry with Maria tomorrow to help stuff the food backpacks we prepared on  Thursday mornings. This is day four of Children’s Food Week at the Cambridge Pantry.

The food we are sending goes to 66 families and 188 children.

Today is Day Four of Children’s Food Week. The food for the day is Life Breakfast Cereal, Cinnamon, 13 0z boxes(3 Pack), $8.19. It is on the Pangtry Wish List Right Here.

Tomorrow is the last day of this week’s program; the food is Maruchen Chicken Ramen, a 3-ounce pack of 24, $7.20.

The program has been a great success so far. Thank you; you’ve done a great deal of good. This is a very good week for these families and their children. More to come.

You can see the entire Amazon Pantry Wish List here. It is updated daily. The Pantry is grateful for your continued help, and so am I.

Below is my Flower Art, a study of the intimacy I believe exists when flowers are combined and next to one another.  See you in the morning.

 

I did some with auto-focus and some manually. I’m getting better at manual and can often achieve the softness and atmosphere that I like.

The pure White Roses are unique; they have great dignity and history.

I liked the contrast between the Gerber Daily and the White Roses. They are at opposite ends of the color spectrum, and that creates feeling and beauty together.

 

Thanks for looking and listening and for the kind messages many of you have posted.

    I want to give that world to someone else.”

  3. These pictures are so beautiful and precious, Jon. The experience is like I could touch the flowers. They look so alive. Have you thought about selling some of your pictures?

    1. Thanks Patricia I appreciare the good words. I don’t want to sell the photos, they are free to anyone who wants to download them or print them I want them to be a paypack to the people who have supported me and my blog and do now. I’m so glad they mean something to you, that’s why I take them. I thank you.
