Photo Friday: Just For Fun
Jul 18th, 2008 by admin
Usually the first thing I think of upon waking on a Friday is 'Today is Photo Friday!' I realized this particular morning that I had not yet looked at the theme. I was hoping that I would be able to find something in my photo file folders that would be appropriate since I had not done my typical Thursday prep for this auspicious occasion. I admit that I felt a bit guilty in that I had not yet checked on what the topic was to be and the very first window I opened was to find out.
OK, then. JUST FOR FUN. This can't be too difficult, I thought... I finished up my daily&Friday morning chores of feeding the dog, making the coffee, picking up dog poop and taking out the trash.
And finally, to publish this post.
Of course, by this time, I had decided to grab my camera and create something specific and unique just for this theme rather than wade through whale photos, cairn pics, and the other dross that occupies most of the space on my hard drive...
Liatris: OO La la! Look at me! I'm so pretty! and you, poor POOR Hydrangea - what's this? only one wee flower to show off? and it's not even very blue, but faded.
Hydrangea: [silence]
Liatris: My official name is KOBOLD Blazing Star. Quite bold and fancy, doncha think? In my Blazing Glory! Ah, so nice to be here with my brothers and sisters, soaking up the sun, attracting me some butterflies...
Ya know, Mistress of the Garden planted my mother only last year. and now look at us! I have many siblings sprouted here there and everywhere. And you? Just one of you and only one bloom. Tsk, tis a pity. Oh, I'm sorry - you DO have a sister. Way over there across the bed, between 5 or 6 of my brothers. Goodness - does she have NO blooms? If I wasn't so joyful, I'd be so sad for you.
Hydrangea: [silence]
Liatris: And my colors! So much brighter than lavender - more a pink violet? FUSCHIA! yes, yes!! And look how TALL I am! Just me alone, I have three tall stems of flower. I'm a STAR!
