May 27, 2026 - Grabbag of photos.

 

A simple collage consisting of photographs of flowers I had taken over the years, crocuses, daffodils and roses to name but a few. This post is dynamic photos will be added to it as the summer season begins. Full-size copies of the photos are also available in this post.


It is Wednesday and I have the day off. I promised myself that after lunch I am heading out, just to see what I can see and find what I can find. So the following is going to be the result of that :-) . Sometimes you just have to go with the flow.

This post will literally lengthen over the course of this week. For now however at 8:09 AM this Wednsday morning I think I will start off with a few older photographs that for no particular reason I like and I hope you will enjoy as well.

This image features a vibrant spring garden bed containing purple crocuses and yellow daffodils.

Spring purple crocuses and yellow daffodils. (2002)

This photo was taken on March 23, 2002 as I was passing by someone's yard and the way the light struck the flowers just caught my eye.

I remember, it was it down for in Vancouver and I still had to take the time to catch this photo. My Home St., West seventh in Vancouver. I don't remember much else but I remember this photo clearly.☔

These are vibrant red roses, potentially a variety like 'Dublin Bay' or 'Canadian Shield', flourishing in a garden.In the background, very softly focused, large powerline towers can be seen. I thought this juxtaposition of nature and modern industry really made the roses stand out.

 As usual, I caught sight of these roses completely by accident while wandering by a neighbourhood garden. Not only are the flowers spectacular, the juxtaposition of the powerline towers in the background really caught my eye. Just goes to show that in the middle of our technological world you can still find mother nature showing off her best.
