On My Head




I had a list of pictures I intended to take today, all of them planned for that golden aura morning sunlight gives us. Only today, the morning was flat, gray and very humid. 


So I walked to the store instead, during which I saw these flowers. I nearly stood on my head to get the pictures. Must've looked like one of those comical garden cartoon ornaments to passing drivers.


'Though fully clothed, I was certainly mooning them as I contorted myself to catch a ground level glimpse of the pretty purple flowers.

Doh!
I'd love to see the flowers, Speedway, but Blogger appears to be throwing its toys out of the pram this morning (it does that periodically) and all I get is strange little warning signs.

Sorry, Dive. I didn't do anything differently than I've been doing all along, so who knows? They're just little purple florets on a sprig, backed by some daisy-like flowers whose colors remind me of ripe peaches.

They sound really pretty. Once Blogger has finished throwing its little hissy fit we'll all be able to see them.
Blogger has a long and frustrating history of mood swings. At one point it completely deleted my blog and another time denied me access to it for weeks. I still prefer it to anti-social network sites so I just grumble and carry on using it.

I have never seen these black sympbols before, can you see them, S?

Speedway said...

Yes. The post was OK for me, pictures and all, though Dive had them. Last night, they suddenly showed up. Don't know why because I haven't done anything differently than on the others.

Lte's see what happens: I removed the "images" then replaced them. Same picture, different day. I now see the images.

Woohoo! That's better. Those colours look simply edible! I just want to stick my head in the photos and inhale. Bliss!
