Perhaps I’ve learned my lesson. I hope that is true. It wasn’t easy.
Sylvia’s friend, Shirley, gave here some hollyhock seed. She had white holly hocks, but these were different. The new ones came into blossom this year. I saw them and went out, camera in hand, to capture the beauty.
I was so glad that I didn’t wait . . . like I did for the beautiful red rose. The weather had been hot and I had terrible pain in my feet so I waited. Obviously too long.
The day before it had been beautiful. Yes, I was sad, but willing to own my own neglect.
For years, turkey vultures have nested in an old hollow oak tree. I could never remember to take my camera when I’d go that way. Last winter a storm split two main portions of the upper tree. I was putting the pro in procrastination. (apologies, Scott)
The turkey vultures nested there again this year, but it is not the same. At least it’s not the same to me. Can’t say what the vultures think about it.
There is another beautiful oak tree that stands in the middle of a field. I love seeing that tree every time we drive past it. I think, “Next time I must bring my camera.” I hope to remember one of these days. Perhaps I will.
Yep, you got to that flower in time. It’s lovely. I have a thing for flowers and trees. We have huge Banyan Trees down here that I love. We went to New Orleans recently (not a fan, have you been?) and they had some gorgeous trees too! Please extend a howdy to the Mrs. from me. It’s been awhile. 🙂
I have not been to New Orleans. I had the chance once, but passed on it.
No apologies needed. 🙂
As a wise man once observed, I come by it legitimately.
Thank you. You continue to maintain your image.
A wise man once told me the same thing, although it was for a different reason.
I much prefer single hollyhocks to roses, so your plan worked fine for me.
We saw a rose bush outside a restaurant yesterday. It was interesting because it had many fewer petals than a typical rose.
Beautiful hollyhock! Love the color.
Thank you. I think they are gorgeous.
I think the cell phone has helped with capturing things right away. Seems I have my phone with me more than my camera, so I click away. Not the same quality, but the idea comes across.
Those are beautiful hollyhocks!! LOVE the color!
I can take pix with my phone, but I can only see them on the phone. No way to get them off.
That color is captivating.
I. too, have missed “opportunities by way of procrastination. But reflect on this: how much bad stuff have you missed due to the same proclivity?
More than little is my suspicion. Don’t expect to ever know for sure.
