I have this photo. I used to use it for the bulletin board at The Frugal Frigate when they had the Room of Her Own.

Say hello to her in Maine.

That second sonnet is very interesting compared with Shakespeare's "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day."

Yes! But it's not the tongue-in-cheek approach Shakespeare's "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun" either...

It's more of a mantra, the determined chant of someone who will *not* be destroyed by this beauty like everyone else has before! Yes, you're lovely, but so is honeysuckle and moonlight, this is nothing out of the ordinary, really...!

Yes, I remember that photo in the context of you!

Whereas the photo says, "Oh dear... Bertie's on the lawn again."

Is Bertie the goat that eats the croquet mallets, I wonder?

in other news, those are my favorite flowers!!!! I went to DC during cherry blossom festival and took soooo many pictures of magnolia blossoms rather than cherries (I forget the specific type of magnolia now...)

Yes! So elegant...
