"Sing, Heavenly Muse"

"Of Man’s first disobedience, and the fruit
Of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste
Brought death into the World, and all our woe,
With loss of Eden, till one greater Man
Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat,
Sing, Heavenly Muse,..."
(John Milton, opening of Book 1 of Paradise Lost)

Last night a friend came for dinner, she gave me those flowers and when I woke up this morning I felt that it was a detail from Hieronymus Bosch's painting, "The Garden of Earthly Delights ".
It was an opportunity to train my new camera.

This image is inspired by the work of Olga Gerrard, a beautiful muse, who constantly awaken the senses with her images.
