I am working a different schedule the last couple of weeks, more days less hours. That gives me an extra hour to drink coffee and visit the backyard. I have not been a good gardener this year. And the Northwest warming trend has burned up what I did not water intensely. And with the heat, I decided not to plant more potted flowers. Too much to water. No global warming? Come visit my yard.
But then on the brighter side, there are a few anemone that survived.
And those delightful columbine pods are spreading their seeds.
I agree with the comment about making it look pretty again...i like it a lot. I have the same problem in Maryland. The heat really did a number on my plants and I didn't do much watering because the heat made me not want to be outside enjoying the garden...kind of a shame...there's always next year. Hooray for more time for yourself!
I look for the beauty in nature, patterns, the ordinary. This is my place where I save wonderful discoveries since 2004. Please contact me at kimberlycarney AT hotmail DOTCOM.

More time to drink coffee is a good good thing.
As usual, lovely photos.
even the dead and dying ones have their beauty.
Only you could make a dead flower look pretty.
As for the comments about the dead, dying and shriveled having a beauty all their own, I sooo agree and I think there's a lesson in there.

Your photography is so fantastic. The pods are incredible. Beautiful even in their death.
