Foundations or Flowers
It is a pleasant thought that these flowers are here instead of the foundations of houses.

Flowers and Foundations
But for the persistent efforts of ordinary citizens in North Bay these flowers would be replaced with the foundations of houses.
This butterfly is happy about this:
So is this one:
This lupine doesn’t mind either:
Sometimes the good guys win!

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!
