Talavera Pottery

Each day is a branch of the Tree of Life laden heavily with fruit. If we lie down lazily beneath it, we may starve; but if we shake the branches, some of the fruit will fall for us.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

    How interesting. The jars in the workshop window are beautiful...and the photo itself is beautifully done.

    Not all that sure about the jar with butterflies. Part of me loves the color and variety and part of me finds the whole thing disturbing.
