Frondescence .. what a leafy, beautiful word. And as always, gorgeous photos to match.
ReplyDeleteJack London is one of my favorite writers, but I think I'd rather be the planet.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that word, frondescence is a new one to me too. Is it a Cloudia invention? So frond-angels look for assistance to flap around. Good thoughts. DrumMajor

I love the word frondescence, just looked it up. Thanks for the new word! Great pictures and quotes, as always.
ReplyDeleteFrondescence is such a wonderful word. Elton John is such a wondeful musician. Chinese New Year is such a wonderful holiday. Hope you have a great day!!
ReplyDeleteGee... I'd love to see the Chinese New Year festivities, but I'm so afraid of the traffic and congestion.
ReplyDeleteyeah, that's why my scooter is SO awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou know- I used to want to be a comet; but now I aspire to be a planet: moving, dancing, constant, reflecting LIGHT, bringing beauty to YOU sky :-)
Thanks SO much for being part of this
The green shine in the first picture is excellent and I also like the girl.
