A Different Look

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.

More time to drink coffee is a good good thing.

As usual, lovely photos.

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.
