I took this photo yesterday, moments before I saw the video of the death of a beautiful young woman in the streets of Tehran, Neda (ندا ). Although I have yet to have the good fortune to visit Iran, professional and personal experiences in my life have made that country's people and fate important to me. As I watched this woman die in the video, and then saw, in the subsequent hours, her memory become a symbol for the Green Revolution sweeping through sectors of Iran, I thought of this image. With her tragic and untimely death, Neda has become larger than life, a symbol of her nation's historic struggle for genuine independence and representation. So many Iranians have been martyred for the cause of freedom over the past century. I continually hope that there are no more Nedas. May the Iranian nation, like all nations around the world, find their own equilibrium, one that is truly just for their society.

My grandparents always had Hens and Chickens in the rock garden section of their yard. I love the way they spill out of their containers and spread! I recently bought these and hope they thrive.

A Succulent in a Cup
I got this beautiful mug in Jerusalem from my favorite potters over ten years ago. Now it has a series of chips, so I repurposed it as a planter for this lovely lotus-esque succulent!
A Blooming Cactus
I'm always in awe of the beautiful blooms that emerge from cacti!
Check in all week with my Flickr stream to see my latest 'Roid week uploads! And get out there and shoot some Polaroid film while you can!
