But why does Aphrodite weep? She is the Goddess of Love Born of the sea, Rising from the waves Clothed only in Original Tears For Love is the Source Of all tears.
Brilliant captures. Love the water droplets and how still they look. Have never seen light look actually tactile before. You’ve made it three-dimensional. Beautiful work. Poor Aphrodite, she’s always meant well.
Thank you!! The early morning light gets captured in the droplets. I love your description of the light being made tactile.
Yes. Aphrodite is quite misunderstood.
aahh the Tears! were they from Aphrodite or of Aphrodite – her reputation for breaking hearts being renowned.
Love the purple-passioned flowers that sprung up under her feet as she emerged from Sea Foam and walked the seacoast.

Hah! I’ve changed the title to preserve the ambiguity. I was, in fact, trying to allude to love sold for jewels, perhaps a little too obliquely.

interesting addition to my limited gods-lore. I had only read about her desire to be desired and worshipped.

I can only hope to redirect some of our gaze to what is still beautiful around us, Don. It is difficult to look away from the ugliness right now.

Oh Lord, I’m so shallow….all I could think was ‘why don’t the deer eat Nadia’s
Hosta?’ I’ll have to work on that.
