I've been feeling a bit blah about blogging recently. I want to share inspiring, positive, educational blog posts, but they just aren't coming out. Sometimes I get on a roll and I can't turn my brain off. I'll wake up in the middle of the night and write a whole blog post in my head and hope that I can remember it until nap time the next day, when I have time to write it down. I'm not talking about major mind blowing rocket science ideas, but I do like to have a point or focus for my blog posts. Today, I have nothing to share except some flower photos.
Cosmos - I love seeing raindrops like this.
Daisy Fleabane - most people would call it a weed, but it looks so pretty on a sunny day, white and yellow against a baby blue sky.
I love the texture, as well as the intense yellow color, of these two flowers. Stop and think for a moment about a small simple flower seed. Then look at all of the individual parts that compose these two flowers. Amazing, isn't it, that all of these little tiny parts some how come out of that one little seed? When trying to identify the plant on the right, I discovered this article about Lowes and bees. Good news.
More fleabane and sedum.
Queen Anne's Lace in its first curled up stage. It will open up for pollination, then curl inward again at the end of the season. Parts of the plant are edible, but it has some scary poisonous look alikes, so beware.
You carry the power of that one little seed to create a magnificent life full of amazing texture and color. Appreciate the richness. Don't let the blahs weigh you down.
