Dramatic Flowers
Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
So, yesterday, I planted some flowers that I didn’t get a chance to plant over the weekend.
That meant first finding a place to put them. That meant cutting down some other flowers that had gone to seed so the new flowers can be seen. (I only cut off the seed stalks; the leaves remain so the flowers will be back next year!) That also meant moving a tree. And then digging holes. And, then in the midst of doing this, it started to rain.
Fortunately, it only sprinkled a bit and then gave up. Not even enough rain to create a rainbow. The sun was shining and I looked for a rainbow, but none was to be seen!
Must remember to water the tree in the morning.
Anyway, finally got the flowers planted and, once done, I naturally took pictures. Also took pictures of some critters I found, but will save those for another day this week.
These particular flowers are pretty in color (maybe I’ll post the color photo on another day) but yesterday evening, I decided to play around with black and white a little bit, and came up with the photo above. I’m thinking it’s kind of 1950’s-ish. Maybe that’s because of the old black and white photos in my family’s photo albums. But, this image turned out real nice in black and white; it almost looks like an illustration.
On the eBook front, I am down to a handful of things left to do!
