There are many things I can say about these buds. Strange, extraordinary, exotic, beautiful. But I can't identify them. Seen at Flushing Cemetery, New York.
My wife and I have some azalea bushes on our property. I noticed this morning that they have started to bud.
It is a budding flower just caught in a little rain fall. I agree with the framming comment. Bit off on my part sorry. Otherwise, I was really happy with the colours and the detail in the droplets of water. Hope you like and thanks, as always for comments, always appreciated. x
As a geek, when I see a whiteboard, I'm pulled towards it. This compulsion is only furthered by the fact that I used to draw a lot when I was younger. Today we went to the Mountain Top Children's Museum, and it seems that Paige is taking after her old man. Among the many activities she spent a significant time playing with, the whiteboard earned a significant amount of attention.
I don't recall there being a children's museum in Breckenridge in years past, so when it showed up on a little morning surfing for kids activities, I thought it was a perfect fit for Paige. After a mellow morning and a slow start, we made our way to the museum. The museum is really more of an old store off Main St. that's been filled with educational activities for the infant to ten (10) year old set. The cost is $7 per child and $5 per adult.
I only set the stage of an old storefront, because it can be jarring at first if you're expecting a children's museum of a large city. That being said, if you can look past the space it occupies, you'll find hours of creative fun for young and old alike.
I can't even list all the activities that drew Paige in for any distinct amount of time. Remote control diggers, various marble/gravity experiments, a solar system room, weights and measures, biology and physiology, fishing with magnets, dress-up, puppets, and of course the craft center. I sat down first at the whiteboard, but after my mountain scene, Paige took to making her own drawing.
While most wouldn't be able to tell what she'd just drawn, it has been really fun to watch her perception grow. Stick figure people now have bodies, clothes, hair, eyes, mouths, and more. They used to just be a circle with two long legs sticking out. Eventually mouths showed up. Now she's got every detail in her own manner of representation. I can't wait to see what shows up next.

A macro view of the Waratah (Telopea speciosissima) flower buds, which will eventually open to expose the reproductive parts contained within.
There are thousands of these, all around the house, about to bloom. I haven't the foggiest notion what they are.
