Who was Cassandra?
In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.
Beautiful. I love the carpet of them rolling out under the budding trees.

Lovely! There's something about 'carpets' of flowers that is so wonderful - like a blanket lying softly on the senses. Trilliums don't grow wild in the UK, I think, though they are grown in gardens and may by now have 'gone wild' in places. I had never seen pictures of them until Karen of Rurality, and then Lorianne, blogged about them. The regularity and simplicity of the flower shape is profoundly satisfying. I hope I will see them one day.

What a lovely fairy forest! I can see why you were so enchanted and happy and in peace sitting here, Beth!

Thanks for that photo. I think I can see the earth's curve. I think I also see evidence of the precipitation cycle, white flowers of trillium evaporating upward in pale clouds.
