Purple Weed Blossom

This photo was supposed to be in a series of weed blossoms I took this summer. Turns out I didn't take that many ... regular flowers are in much greater supply in the city. Still, no blue weed blossoms either ... blue must be a complicated color for plants.

On a totally unrelated note Happy Birthday to my father and sister!

Flower Week: Purple ... or Indigo?

This was really my favorite of the flowers ... it was the closest to blue.

Flower Week: Just Another Red Day

I prefer red wine ... but it just doesn't photograph as well.

Flower Week: Purplish and White


Another fine example of flowers blossoming this time of year in hanging pots all over the city.

Flower Week: Orange

At least it's not red ...

Flower Week: Very Red

I think I like the "painted" or "mixed media" feel I got from this photo. This was more a side effect of the wind while I was trying to focus, than anything I did deliberately.

Flower Week: Lavenderish

As usual, I don't know what kind of plant this is, but I like it and I'm pretty sure it's not actually lavender. I've got at least one more round of flowers in me ... and I've got to say people really prefer the reds and purples. Are there a lot of blue flowers? I'd like to see some of those.

Flower Week: Yellow


Comes to an end with my favorite of the pictures I took during the week. I guess I just like the sharpness of the foreground blossoms juxtaposed with the blurriness of the background blossoms.

Flower Week: Yellow

Flower Week: Yellow (and White) with a free insect. I wonder if there still will be flowers in bloom next month. Maybe I'll have a vegetable week.

Flower Week: Last of the Reds

Last of the Reds today ... although they'll be plenty of those tonight at the fireworks.

Flower Week: Moving on to Purpley

Day four and we're still in the red family ... sort of. I still think they are great while they last. As long as I don't have to breathe the pollen.

Flower Week: Pinkish

Just another nice flower blossom in the "red" family.

Flower Week: Maroon ... really changing up the colors up here.

Tuesday: Sticking with the deep reds on day two. I saw these all in the same area. Again, couldn't tell you any more than I'm pretty sure it's not an animal or mineral.

Flower Week: Burgandy and White ...



Don't ask me what kind of flowers these actually are ... I'm a guy. It was just a beautiful weekend and the flowers were in bloom.
