Dianthus
Foxglove
These were taken at my neighbor’s house last Sunday. The top photo is raw, straight from the camera. The bottom photo needed a little bit of color balance tweaking. The background foliage was verging on an unnatural shade of chartreuse, so I toned it down a bit.
Now, to motivate myself to mow the yard. The weather has been uncooperative lately, so it’s been two weeks since I’ve mown. The grass is getting a little out of control. The problem now is that if I wait until the dew has dried sufficiently, it’ll be hot out and damned uncomfortable for physical labor. O ick. If I let it wait until late afternoon, when it’s cooled off a bit, I’ll have lost any motivation I might have summoned up. Blah.
While I’m weighing my options, maybe I’d better go snorgle the puppy. After all, it might help to remind myself on whose behalf the mowing is done. I have no interest in having a yard, after all. If it were up to me, I’d let most of it return to meadow. Harriet likes her yard, though.
