dedmanshootn > rainy day hedge blossoms 07/04/08 happy independence day to all my fellow americans, and happy friday/saturday to all the rest of you. it was my very fav weather today; gray, overcast, drizzling rain and about 55F. perfect for wiping pollen and other irritants out of the air and remaing cool. had to use a flash for this as light was so low. this hedge is right behind the bus stop nearest my apartment and while it is very beautiful and lush it is also one of my allergic irritants tho it was no problem today. i thought these were beautiful with the water on them and shot with very low flash to try to keep as much of the luster of the 'wet look' as possible. for scale the leaf at the bottom is about 1.5 inches long. for you who enjoy the bus paint jobs i also captured another one of them i've been wanting to - http://dedmanshootn.smugmug.com/gallery/4855371_JgWrE#325115221_QNaCY
dedmanshootn > 'music glamour' petunias 07/03/08 there are huge baskets of these hanging from many lampposts in fairhaven, which was a seperate settlement over 100 years ago but is part of bellingham now tho retaining its own distinct flavor, where i usually go to the library and do my grocery shopping and i just had to try to capture them, especially after i noticed the beautiful blue 'eyes' inside them. used the flash for fill here as this is the lower side of a basket over three feet across and was shadowed
dedmanshootn > sunny daisy 07/02/08 forgot to wish a happy canada day to all the canadians yesterday, would like to have some excuse but the truth is my memory just slipped a cog. belated happy canada day anyway. there's a huge bunch of these on my way to the bus stop which brighten my day when i see them. don't know what it is about daisies but they always seem happy to me. hope this brightens your day
dedmanshootn > pollen packed honeybee
dedmanshootn > mountain laurel blossoms and buds
dedmanshootn > mountain laurel blossoms 06/24/08 this is per request of angele who wanted to see the flowers when they opened from my 'hairy buds' dp several days ago. knowing what to call this plant is thanks to karinaboese. had a heck of a time getting this posted. uploaded fine then when i tried to access the gallery to put on title etc puter crashed. i rebooted 3 times but couldn't open any gallery on smugmug tho e-mail etc worked fine. did a bunch of other things and decided to reboot and try one more time. got lucky. my puter is betting balkier and balkier and unfortunately i can't afford to fix or replace it. if worst comes to worst i can at least e- someone from the library's puters to let y'all know what's happened but if this puter wipes out i won't be able to upload any longer. hopefully it won't come to that. this is rambling on and on because i got frustrated and stayed up too long, tho at least i use punctuation unlike SOME people, dita ;-), but i'll wrap up now. hope you are having a much better day than mine is so far
dedmanshootn > honeybee on blue 06/23/08 don't know what this bush and flower are but i sure like them. apparently the insects do too. i saw at least five different types counting this gal. i've been hearing that the bees are dying/disappearing and i can believe it as this is the first honeybee i've seen this year tho i've seen many types of wasp and bumbles. i thought it cool how bright yellow and bulging the pollen she's carrying is. i don't have macro and was too lazy to carry my tripod, even tho i got a fine new shoulder case for it from my fam, so this is just my 18-55mm zoom hand-held. you who know flowers and plants, who have time and inclination, do you know what this is http://dedmanshootn.smugmug.com/gallery/4434686_au3Uh#277433702_jPr7u
dedmanshootn > late june dogwood 06/22/08 dogwoods are usually long gone by now here. maybe it was the grey very cool wet spring but whatever this beautiful little tree is blooming beautifully now by my fav fairhaven library. thanks so much for your kind comments and encouragement. my 'sorry' of yesterday was more int he way of a lament than an apology. i don't view the dailies as any sort of obligation or burden, more a banquet to be savored and, like all good things, shared for the greatset pleasure. i regret that i've been unable to fully share and enjoy tho i am just happy to be alive and in enough of condition to be able to participate at all. bless you all again (and again and again and ...)
dedmanshootn > wild weed rapids 06/18/08 this was right by the bus stop, which i needed as was dead tired and heading home without a daily, but it caught my imagination anyway. the weeds look like water flowing over a rapid to me and i also thought it was cool how many different plants (i've noticed at least a dozen) there are. i still haven't caught up on everyone's dailies for which i apologize. just dead dog tired and allergies were nasty today though it finally started to rain, hallelujah!, and i hope to sleep well tonight. just got off the phone with DOD and he's improved a bit but the docs are planning to keep him in hospital for at least several more days. he wanted me to express his personal thanks for all the kind wishes and prayers. there's a puter in his room that can be used for a short time so i was playing various galleries as slideshows and read him some of the comments and e-mails. he says "God bless you all"
