Not a good combination.

Late start…west coast…I’m sure no one is catching this tonight. I’m even going to cheat and post ‘old’ pics. I took some today, but it was a bit late. These are from about a week ago.

As much as these close-up shots are one of the things I really like to photograph, I don’t think they accomplish what I want to accomplish by participating in Bloom Day. I do want to document more of the overall look of each plant and tree and area each month. So I’ll still put together a set of photos on Flickr over the next couple days to accomplish that. But I’m happy to get this going.
