Elegant beauty
I'm not sure what caused the "effect" with this flower - or maybe it's just blur? Most times I visit the Reader Rock Garden, it is windy, and it always amazes me that I get any reasonably sharp photos from there. The other thing I'm not sure about is what kind of flower this is - a single Peony? Despite the slightly unpleasant thing it does to my eyes, there was just something I still liked about this photo.
This photo was taken on 24 June 2015, when I called in at the Reader Rock Garden after a volunteer shift. Really, I should have chosen a warm coloured flower instead of cold white, as it snowed overnight and is heavily overcast and dreary this morning. Temperature is -1C (windchill -5C) and humidity is 93%, and the Fog Advisory continues from yesterday. In other words, it doesn't look or sound very welcoming outside.
Yesterday, when I picked up my car from being repaired (after the accident I was involved in, but was not at fault), I got a free carwash. (Turned out that the heat shield had been damaged by the impact and that was what was causing the rattling.) Unfortunately, by the time I had run an errand or two, my car windows were fogged up badly and I suspect they may all have a covering of ice on the inside this morning, which will not be good. However, it does feel good to have a drivable car again, thank goodness.
