Blue, But Better


I'm feeling better, but stuck in the lull that seems to come over me after a cold/flu. I'm physically better and should be energetic - no longer pushing to work through a sore throat and stuffy nose - but instead, I feel a nearly overwhelming lethargy. I assume it's because my body had been waging a war against a virus and, now that the battle is over, wants to take a break.

Pushing to get back to my Photo a Day project (instead of posting a recent "eh" kind of pic every day or so), I risked the pollen and freshly cut lawns to take a few outdoor shots.

This flower moved me. It was battered and rather droopy after the torrential rains we've been having. But it had survived to raise its face to the sun. I was going to post the straight shot of it in my Photo a Day gallery, but when I played with the levels I was really drawn to the contrast against this striking blue background.

It's a little unnatural, a little eerie, but I like it.

  1. Such a GREAT picture! Esp after all the rain we have been having, very appropriate to how we all probably feel these days! ;)
