Musings

We did a loop drive with a lunch/afternoon destination in Athens (where we found this charming lavender in bloom). On the way over, it seemed like in every other opening to the sky we saw a vulture circling. Surprisingly, on the return leg, I only spotted one…were the others resting after a lovely lunch (as in, they had consumed all the carrion)?

These peonies won’t last long, so bear with me. Post-rain peony this morning.

This is white false indigo, and, yes, I was playing with photo-“phunctions” on my phone.

Here’s an azalea bush, with fading fleurs…and most of the petals fallen. Note the flourishing leaves.

I think of this as immersion red, as in I gaze at it an want to immerse myself in the blossom. What a lovely space that would be!

There are leaves and leaflets. Do not confuse if you have botanical leanings.

Yup, it’s THAT season, when the peonies are in bud…

…and new growth sports that special spring green.

Just some (invasive) honeysuckle, plain and boring compared to events of the beginning of the week.

Late Easter lily.

I write this as JCB texts with a friend who’s in Taiwan, and they’re trying to figure out what day it is. 🤣🤣🤣

I think of this azalea in our back garden as White Cloud. This is a non-flash, long-exposure night shot, and it looks darned spooky.
