It was nice out once. In fact, it was even nice out earlier this week.
I know because I have photographic proof.
We're now in the third day of a stretch of gloomy, cold, wet weather (when I went running this morning it was 45 & raining), a sure sign (much like the empty park I wrote about a few days ago) that fall is on the way. Yet we started off the week with summer hanging on.
How do I know? Because I took pictures on Labor Day.
The Peter White Public Library in Marquette has a corps of volunteer master gardeners who keep their grounds well manicured. They've been planting flowers throughout the summer, and in the past week or two those flowers have been blooming left and right. So Monday—Labor Day—when the sun was out and it wasn't, you know, autumn, I took a camera over there to see what I could see.
And just what DID I see? Well, I saw a little magenta...
I saw this flower--
And I saw what might be its polar opposite--
I saw two bees busy at work--
And I saw what might be every single purple or purple-oriented color available in flowers--
I was snapping pictures left and right, and wasn't really paying attention to what I shot until I transferred them into my laptop. It was only then that I noticed this picture--
I don't know why, whether it's the composition or the contrast of the colors, but I like it. I like it a LOT.
I'd like to be able to go out and take more pictures of flowers this weekend but, as we all know, that's probably not gonna be possible. So just let me offer this—stay warm this weekend. Stay dry this weekend.
Stay sane this weekend.
