In Spite of the Weather

In spite of an unseasonably chilly Spring, my flowers are blooming in defiance.  These photos have been tweaked on picmonkey - it's too fun playing with that site!

formally known as 'Gomer Waterer', this beauty has been 'posterized' and  made 'urbane'

Love these lupines - posterizing adds a fun touch.

These bright ones are hardly touched up at all!

"Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world."  ~Mr. Emerson
"Flowers seem intended for the solace of ordinary humanity."  ~John Ruskin
