the last of them
“Dried and faded flowers” is a bit of a cliche, isn’t it? The flowers here were eleven days old when I photographed them and instead of fading, their color grew more and more concentrated, the way a sun-dried tomato takes on a deeper red and a richer, more nuanced flavor that its fresh version.
I didn’t eat these flowers at any point, so my comparison is more a product of my brain than a simple statement of facts.
But anyway…here’s the last of the dried flower photographs. Tomorrow it’s on to something else.

the morning yucca
I took some time the other Saturday morning to explore my own town; it paid off handsomely because not only did I discover an excellent coffee place, but there were some exuberant yucca flowers out in front.
And this reminds me that when I was a kid, I’d eat these flowers, which could surely explain some things.

Flowers, 1
I had some flowers. I had some spare time. The light was good.
You know what happened next. (Only it happened in color?)

Two and a half flowers
Two white flowers, and one that’s already given up, are huddled together in the meager shade of the deck.
