these roadside flowers are in abundance where i walk every morning. i especially liked this bunch that was growing outside the fence of one of the homes along don mills road.
the renovation of the balconies continues. i had a zoom meeting after lunch and was telling the ladies about one of the crew being so gorgeous that if only i was in my 40's i'd really go for him. they had removed the railings on my balcony while i was at lunch, so when my meeting started the men were just gathering their equipment. i turned my monitor around so that the ladies would see what was happening outside. one of the men who was standing on my balcony, his back to us, was trying to fix something on his equipment (no, that that equipment, silly!) the one they use to cut the metal bars and panels. he suddenly bent down, and all of us went ahhhhhh! when one of them said, we're acting like teenagers, i said, "well, we're just old, we're not dead yet!"
Lovely colours, composition and textures in this one Vikki. Methinks you should paint it :) Great story too. As regards the eye candy, I've often heard it said that you can look at the flowers as long as you don't "pluck" em :))
On the other hand, this photo is so pretty and painterly.
Such a fun story! Good to know I’m not the only one like that!
Views like that on your balcony are what keeps the heart thumping!
