“The flower is the poetry of reproduction. It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life.”
Hippolyte Jean Giraudoux (French novelist, essayist, diplomat and playwright, 1882–1944)
TIME: 7:50 PM
PLACE: Front yard
SUBJECT: Stamens and stigmas of a Heliopsis “Ballerina”
I rode my bicycle this afternoon with my dad after he got home from work. It was hot and steamy and it felt difficult to do and it took a lot of effort on my part. My legs felt like rubber bands when I dismounted and put the bike away in the garage. But I’m glad I did it. Today’s animal count: 4 rabbits and 4 groundhogs – a tie! I was completely whooped from riding, but still needed to take a photo. I decided a flower photo would be good enough today, so I wandered into the front yard and wearily sat down on my brick pavers lining the flower beds. I do like this shot…the middle reminds me of a birthday cake (or cupcake) with candles.
