blue
Sometimes after a hard week, or month, or year, or decade, or what have you, of misery and bitching and generally being a pill, it's helpful to me to remember that there is beauty in the world, too...


Like these hydrangeas FPM picked from a property and brought to me today.


And this, a gift from a tenant. (I couldn't find any other containers on short notice.)


I love it when people bring me flowers...especially my favorite shade of hydrangea. The ones in my backyard bloom palest pink and hinted blue, probably because they are growing in soil that hasn't been cared for in decades.


The blue of the flowers, the blue of the vase...nicely accented by sturdy green leaves. Looks good enough to eat. (Are hydrangeas poisonous?) Note reflection of noob photographer who didn't know better than to take backlit photos at first.


I only ever manage to upload photos at work because I am the Official Keeper of the Cord Thingy Which Makes The Pictures Go Onto The Computer. (We are not highly computer-literate around here.)


Each blossom perfect...delicate veins, shadowed petals, little button centers, all the color of the deepest curve of a summer sky.

We live in a beautiful world...

(yeah we do, yeah we do)
