Purple Muse

Is it Friday yet??

More importantly, are these pictures really from July?

yep.

I just had *too* much fun this summer, including this little evening stroll around the Seattle Center. DMA and I went there because I heard they were going to re-do the Fun Forest rides... but we were too late! The log ride, the viking ship, the horrible orbitron are GONE!

There were still interesting sights to be seen! Reflections & flowers... my favorites!

Reflections
These are a few variations of the reflection of the Space Needle in the EMP. I love the swirls and twisted patterns.



Purple Muse
aaah, my favorite.
Of all the flowers in the world, something about the hydrangea deeply resonates with me; they are my favorite. They remind me of my great-grandmother and my very early years of childhood. To the six year old me, my great-grandmother's little backyard was a little bit magical. She had hydrangeas, snowballs, bluebells, crumbly old cement sidewalks and money plants (my other favorite... actually, I don't even know if they are called money plants... ok, I just googled it... they are actually called Annual Honesty, and HERE is a link to a fabulous photo on someone's flikr page) (hehe.. maybe I'll use Annual Honesty as the name of my photography company?)
Anyway, my muse for the day was a random lacetop hydrangea plant. This is what it looks like:
And here are my suped up edited, veryvery pretty variations...






Hey, thanks for taking a look at my blog!
In peace,
Lori
