Thoughts?


Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful;
they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.


Luther Burbank

I ran across this flower at the park today. I have no idea what it is but I researching to find out, if anyone knows what it is I would appreciate it. I can tell you the bees thought it was very tasty.

Wow lavender!
Judy, the quote is so true, in fact it helped me ease my sadness over the kitty. Your comment on my Cats on Tuesdays made me cry, thank you for your comforting comments.

Sorry, can't help with the identification but it's pretty and the bees like it - so that's all that matters!

HI Judy, I wondered if this was somehow related to lupine, but I don't think so. I found this on line, but once I started looking, I realized you could probably do a better job. You'll find it in there, I'll bet! Great pictures, love the bee!

Just stumbled (gracefully) into your blog and wish to say 'hi neighbor'. Always fun to meet another from the PNW. Beautiful photos! Thank you.

I seem to be having a problem making my comment stick. Anyway, I did say I thought the separation of the background and the flower itself so enhances the subject - I am wondering technically how that is done - that the post is indeed medicine for the soul. Though I am sure your skill has much to do with it as well. Just lovely!

Wonderful photos! I see the little bit of spider web in the second photo.

Beautiful macros, Judy! You've captured a busy-bee! I love the cobwebs on that second shot. The quotes are uplifting!
