Upside Ann

  Evening Primrose -  bienniel.  Looking at this blossom, I'm now understanding why/how it spreads throughout my bed and across the yard into the fence row.  Now, you might be saying, "Well, Ann.  It is a pretty yellow ...  but why here?"  And the answer cannot be captured in a still shot.  You need to watch the video below.  Really.  This is NOT time-lapse.  People I know have brought our their lawn chairs to watch the show...

 with apologies to Bullseye.

  More photos than are required - but Arches is an amazing spot.  Hot, though.  I believe it was 113F.  We spent most of the time enjoying views from the scenic drive and only once evening was descending did we venture on a couple of short walks.  Here in this collection you will see my obsession with panoramic photos and photos of pathways.  

 Good morning.....

 What a voice!

  Granted, this doesn't look like much.... but only a few short weeks ago, it was just a single blossum with one leaf that broke off one of my new geranium plants.  I felt terrible that I had been so clumsy to have broken off a branch from a plant that had few to start with - so I stuck it in water to enjoy the flower in my kitchen window.  I was surprised by how long the bloom looked healthy...and then it grew roots.  Now!  Look!  4 new leaves!!  (When I planted it in the pot, after the blossom had faded, it had only the same one leaf.)  Celebrating my success.  Hit me up for any starts.  I am feeling successful.
