An Atypical Monday

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA — Today started out well, almost great I would venture to say. The day greeted me with the soft hum of dawns warmth.

I hope your Monday was a great atypical Monday!

The Bride and I went for a walk this evening right after a small but unsuccessful rain storm moved through. The storm did bring relief from the heat so I will give it its due for that part of it’s responsibilities.

We walked about and had no other task before us than to enjoy ourselves and that is what we did. Here are a few shots from the walkabout in the windy cool haze of today.

More On The Amazing Lily

The Lily not only is beautiful but also an important part of the flow and rhythm of my little corner of the world. One way it does this is by providing hunting opportunities for insects. Here is one of my favorite little hunters on the hunt among the Lilies.

For The Love Of The Lily

The love I have for the Lily comes from working in a friends garden several years ago. I was tasked with job of getting the garden prepped and ready for a Garden Show. One of many tasks was the job of replanting hundreds of these lovely flowers. As I began working with them I became aware how fragile they can be if missed handled. But what struck me was even though fragile in one way they are surprisingly strong and tough. They will survive all types of weather and still show great beauty always. Here is for the love of the lily!
