I went to take my daylily photos this morning and my camera did not cooperate.  Dead battery.  The hazard to being addicted to daylilies, I suppose.  It’s my summer road trip this year, though.  So, time to savor it!

Today was different because my daughter and grandkids are in town for a couple of days.  Tonight, swimming.  Tomorrow, the Black Canyon of the Gunnison.  And, so for today, a short blog.

The new kid today is one called Fairy Tale Pink.  It looks more peach in the sunlight.  I love the lines coming from the throat.  It is a unique addition to the batch.

Today was Zuni Thunderbird’s last bloom.  I fell in love with this whimsical bloom for some reason.  I am definitely painting this one.

So, dead battery.  What’s a photographer to do?  I substituted with my Kindle for the early photos and used some of the filters that I have on my photoshop app.  I’ve been wanting to do that.  And, the hour is late . . .
