The little day lily that could has finally bloomed! There are a couple more buds that should open tomorrow or the next day.
The top photo was taken with a Lensbaby with +4 macro filter. The bottom one was taken with a Holga filter.

An Experiment
Aster
This is obviously not the best focused photo, but it was a fun experiment. I picked up a cheap-o plastic magnifying glass at the dollar store, thinking it might make an interesting photo toy. I just held it in front of the lens while shooting.
Sedum
It looks like the sedum is close to opening, too.
These were all Lensbaby 2.0 shots with +4 macro filter.
Day Lily Buds
It’s the little day lily that could!
Aster
I took a quick tour of the patio when I got home this afternoon. There was a surprise bunch of asters blooming. I thought they’d died off! They were hiding under the cannas.
Good Times
We’re having an extra long staff meeting tomorrow. I wonder if we are going to collectively get our hands slapped for being little chatterboxes, and if so, whether or not I’ll be allowed to skip those particular festivities, since I’ve already had more than my fair portion. I wouldn’t want to be greedy, after all.
I stayed home sick on Monday, and my boss asked me this morning if I’d skipped work because I was upset with her. Srsly. That she would assume that it’s all about here is mind boggling. Not to mention that, if I were still angry on Monday, after getting in trouble the previous Wednesday, why would I suddenly be unangry enough on Tuesday to come back to work? The mind boggles.
And now, I think it’s time for some gratuitous flower pictures.

Day Lily Buds
You know those day lily plants I moved recently, so that they could actually get a little sunlight? One of them has decided to bloom! Better late than never, I guess.
Red Peppers
My green peppers are turning red. I’ve also (finally!) got a couple of fairly good sized ripe tomatoes, and have discovered that they are sweet. Like candy. Yum. And the texture is just amazing–fine-grained and juicy. I’ve been eating store-bought tomatoes for so long, I’d forgotten what a real tomato tasted like.
Sweet William
Dianthus
I can’t believe this poor little thing is still flowering. It’s in deep shade and was crowded out by a bunch of other plants. I stepped on it, because I didn’t know it was there, and when I did finally see it, I nearly pulled it, thinking it was a weed. And I still don’t know where it came from. I didn’t plant it. It must have hitched a ride on something I transplanted from Ms. Lea’s garden.
It’s the little flower that could!
Rainbow
Poke Berries
Canna Lily Seed Pods
I love the way poke berries form a rainbow as they ripen.
