Shades of a painting Friday, Jan 15 2016 

I recall by a Canadian painter done in the mid twentieth century of a snag up on Lake Superior. Not quite framed right, but I wasn’t there to do artistic photography.

Yes, off to the right is water. Yes, I ended up down by it. Then I wandered over and climbed up and down the other side. Apparently, I am in better shape than I thought I was.

(I cheated, I drove around to the other side to do that bit!)

West branch of the Farmington, at the location of an old mill pond, now an excellent fishing spot.

That white Gladiolus, seen in the vegetable garden last year and this year chucked rather quickly into the big garden, has managed to bloom. Despite the late planting in heavy, soggy soil, several of the bulbs have managed to bloom. I didn’t think they would since I planted them in late June; I just hoped that by planting them, I would be able to save them for next year.  So far, a nice yellow and the white. It would be wonderful if the crimson and rose would bloom as well; but the yellows are most probable given last years numbers.  Still, who am I to complain about this!

From year to year, and day to day, entirely different. The wild, random nature is part of their nature. It is, perhaps, their charm. The flowers are each, individual, a statement of purpose, a testament to eons of change and evolution, ever sure of their path, blind though it may be. But towards what? That defined purpose simply explodes in a riotous, abandoned display of life by chance. Or not chance? Is that one glorious moment the whole point of the exercise?

I do wonder if that white gladiolus is surviving out in the big garden this year, rather than in the vegetable garden of last year….
