Hot, Hot, Hot....

(End of June, 2010):  These past couple weeks have been so hot and muggy, feeling much more like August than June.  It's too hot outside (mid-90s) and - with the a/c on full blast - it's too cold inside!  There's not been much happy medium anywhere to be found.   But early mornings have been pleasant and I've gotten some "cool" shots on my morning walks!

(some shots from Kissena Park, and some from the Community Garden on Colden Ave)


The Larkspur or Wild Delphinium (Delphinium glaucum) are blooming in Kissena Park in vibrant shades of deep purple, lavender, deep pink, light pink and white!

There must be a pheasant family nearby!
