It’s -30C outside.
Here is a little warming help from last summer.
Hope this works.

Monday Morning Colour
A newly emerged poppy bursts forth with intense colour:
It is still a bit wrinkled from being folded up in the pod.

Hosta
Hostas are plants that have elegant curves and surfaces.
They are unspectacularly spectacular in their form and design.

Poppy II
Rich red colour and flowing petals:
For some reason I am visualizing Flamenco Dancers!

Flower Day
In the summer I make a lot of photographs of flowers, many of which I don’t use. Until I get to messing around with new ideas and processing foolishness.
A recent post by my friend Silverpixel introduced me to the Autochrome process and I’ve spent most of the past two days playing with tutorials from the web which try to duplicate the delicate tones and feel of the original photographs. It is remarkable that this was the go-to process for colour photos from the turn of the last century until Kodak brought out Kodachrome around 1930.
Here’s an attempt using a shot of hollyhocks from Sweetman’s Garden made a year ago last summer.
I hope the treatment has a romantic and nostalgic feeling to it.
Anyway, it’s been a fun two days!

Sweetman’s Garden Lives!
I haven’t been by Sweetman’s Garden in recent weeks. Today I visited and found a glorious display of colour. The lupins are blooming as are the iris and the poppies.
Here is a slideshow of what I found:
It is inconceiveable that only three years ago, North Bay City Council considered selling this property for building lots.
