So the Mad-Art Teacher had a nasty-ass headache last night. It was in my sinus and in my forehead and in my neck. Neck rubs helped a little, Ibuprophen helped a little, laying down in my bed for a teensy nap helped a little, too. But what made me forget about it completely is going on a little photoshoot around my yard. I have a surprising amount of flowers in bloom right now. Most of them are very subtle, not too showy or flashy. Except for my azalea bushes, they are like blinking neon signs and they smell so good!
I have detected a distinct purple trend in mid spring flower fashions! With hints of pink and white....

It was great to get down and shoot these closeup, walk around outside and find some little pockets of pleasure. I also noticed that I have a LOT of work to still do in those gardens! Too many weeds in some of them yet. Guess I know what I will be doing this Memorial Day weekend, in between the rain showers!
Regardless, spending time in the flowers will give me some joy!
