Friday's Flowers along the roadside

Wild Carrot, Bishop's Lace or Queen Anne's Lace...by any other name would be as lovely to my eyes.

Friday's Flowers revisited.

I stopped to ask permission to traipse around in someone's yard to get a shot of these beauties. The lady of the house was more than gracious; her reply, 'Why not?!' We both agreed that this is an unusual color departure from orange poppies.

I thought her generous and hearty response to me was worth taking to heart in life as well.

Why not, indeed?

I'm ready for my close up, Mr. DeMille.

Above, Friday's Flowers are back. These hale and hearty pansies are from my patio bravely *facing* our cold and damp weather (snow is predicted; but then you know how I swear laugh at snow!)

and because I am always counting on the old being new again,

Fleet Foxes, my new fave.
