a reminder from Mr Vonnegut.

a poem from "Cat's Cradle" by Kurt Vonnegut:

Tiger got to hunt,
Bird got to fly;
Man got to sit and wonder, "Why, why, why?"
Tiger got to sleep,
Bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand.

daffodil springing some Spring #flower #spring #macro #vintagelens

This is a close-up macro photograph of a daffodil flower. The image focuses on the center trumpet or corona of the flower, which is bright yellow with delicate ruffled edges. Surrounding the trumpet are white petals that are slightly blurred but still visible. The center of the flower shows the reproductive parts, including visible stamens with pollen. The background is softly blurred in green tones, creating a shallow depth of field that emphasizes the flower's intricate details and bright colors.
