On To Mid-April!
I’ve managed to get to mid-April in my “image purge” quest. I’ve found a lot of bad images, but I’ve also found a good number that are deserving of some time and attention. Mostly it’s been great fun to go through these months of trips and walks: the memories are enough to make the quest worthwhile, but the photos I’m finding will be fun to share.
I’d share this particular one as a good night flower except, well, it’s not a flower! The plant (it’s an annual herb and this one was seen at a local park Dan and I hiked in) does have flowers, but these seed pods are the more interesting thing about them as far as I’m concerned.
You might notice there is a I by the name: you will be seeing another .. maybe as early as tomorrow. Time will tell.

Looking Back Some More
Okay, I’ve made it past about, oh, maybe four more shots. This is slow going at the moment. But how could I not stop and enjoy and remember this scene?

Looking Back
This is from this past April’s trip to see wildflowers. I’m still amazed when I look at images. They are small, I know, but there ARE a few structures in this photo. Thus, the imaginative title.

Goodnight Flower
This is a flower I saw for the first time on our hike today. I’d love to go back and work more with it, as I think I could get more interesting shots, but this will do for now. I’m fairly sure I identified it correctly, but if someone disagrees I am open to correction.

First Shot
After an exhausting week of Aladdin rehearsals and shows, today is a day off. Thankfully Dan suggested we go on a little outing to a nearby county park and I’m so glad he did. I loved the fresh air, and I definitely needed the walk.
Here is my first shot of the day. I know this is lupine, and I”m guessing it might be Lupinus bicolor, but I’m not great at narrowing things down sometimes. No matter what, the field of them was lovely.
