A couple of things here

First of all, it may come in handy to know that you can apparently get a handful of cemetery flowers for a dollar.

Second, this should quiet, forever, those doubters who say that cats do not go to heaven. Obviously they do: why else would this cat have angel wings?

Angel, grounded

And here’s a cemetery angel, helpfully illustrating “dust to dust” for anyone who happens by.

Garden Helix

Here’s the last photo from my trip to the garden center the other day. It’s a short series because I didn’t really get the sorts of images I had in my head, which surely says a lot more about the contents of my head than it does of the contents of the garden center.

This is what happens when my camera and I are left unattended at the garden center: I take lots of random pictures. I figured if any employee challenged me, I’d just say I was taking pictures to give to my landscape designer. That sounds kind of plausible, I think. No one bothered me, though; I think they were busy waiting on actual customers or something.

WARNING: COLOR IMAGE TO FOLLOW!

Sorry. I hope the warning worked and you weren’t too shocked.

Here’s the thing: I took my camera with me to the garden center because I haven’t been taking many photos lately and I sort of couldn’t come up with a better place to shoot. We were going there anyway, see, and it would give me something to do while the Patient Spouse got the [insert garden-y thing here] that he was looking for.

I think you see my point: this would have been pointless in black and white.

Thank you for your indulgence while I strayed away. I’ll be back tomorrow, all black and white, like usual.
