Oooh! Jackpot while strolling through the nursery... This is a Himalayan poppy. They bloom only briefly, but have the most incredible sky blue blossoms.
My columbine is finally blooming. I love this variety--it reminds me of crinoline petticoats peeking out from beneath a fancy dress.
I have discovered that until I am all better (ie stronger) I am going to have to use my tripod for just about everything. Of the shots I took at the nursery today, I had to delete at least 3/4 of them because I am still too shaky for the big gun...patience is a bear! So either tripod or P&S, and I can shoot.

Beautiful captures! I love that blue. And I am not ill yet I need my tripod most of the time. ;)

ReplyDeleteSo glad you got out and about today! B and I saw that blue poppy at a place in La Conner a couple of weekends ago. Up until then, I had never seen a blue poppy. The color absolutely astounded me!
