my mother
in her later years
was a bonsai gardener
theses were the tools
used to create art in the soil
now like much of her art
they are framed
as honored pieces in my home

ELK, these scissors are so cold...love that reflection!
Very cool photos!
Beautiful reflections. Nice warm counter-balance to the cold metal.
I found you from over at The World in Black and White.
I love the last photo...it says a lot.
Elk these are fabulous. i mean outrageously fabulous.
you made me smile.
what a picture perfect opportunity!
just yesterday, my husband said to me that he wants a bonsai tree for his special room—we call it "the man cave"—where he has all his guitars and music and boy stuff.
:)
These look so antique...and the reflection is awesome.
Those tools are really precious for you. Those are beautiful photos that you have taken and the reflection is fantastic and symbolic.
I like the way you captured these tools in the photos and by framing them. I've always admired a good bonsai - knowing it takes patience and dedication to develop a good specimen. It's just a special art.
nice memory on this monday. thanks
I'm tearing.. you are always moving me.
Beautiful photo!

Great captures! I like the way you framed the tools.
the second image is so powerful - wow - it made me draw my breath in suddenly - not a gasp, but more than that - more like speechless - (but obviously :) not typing-less) had it been in person...
