tres marias

had bloodworks done early this morning. then, before going back home to have breakfast, i passed by the 'parkette' near the danforth viaduct where they have a small garden. there were lots of flowers which were mostly in their last stages so i took a lot of photographs of flowers. heaven knows i have only the slightest idea what i would do with them, although they're quite decent. fillers, maybe?

amongst the many flowers, i espied these daisies (they look like daisy to me, and actually there were four of them but it got hidden by their own leaf) and they were the only one of their kind. i love the way their petals curl around.

sooc but for the name tag.
(here's to you @meggageg cheerios!)
Gorgeous blooms .... [echinacea]. I love the pattern in the centre.

echinacea! i knew you'd give me the proper name. :-) thank you, anne.

@roth - why, thank you! would you believe, i was writing since this afternoon, and my first sentence had the word 'windswept' in it and i used the word two times more. three thousand five hundred words and three of them was 'windswept'. nice!

Nice- I like the three- good balance. They look like they could spin in circles.

@jannkc - thanks, jann. their leaves are curled that way; there was no wind or breeze at the time so i think that's just how they are.

They look beautiful and thirsty. I too love the petals drooping. Gorgeous flowers

nicely composed shot and as usual, enjoyed your narrative. hope your bloodwork was for regular checkup stuff and nothing wrong.

@jobesekama - thank you, beth. i was thinking i should bring with me a small mist sprayer. but maybe i should just wake up early and catch the early morning dew.

@catsmeowb - thank you, camille. the bloodwork was for a regular check up which i've been postponing for weeks and weeks now. my naturopath doctor put me on a cholesterol therapy because my regular physician threatened to put me on some medication if my cholesterol is still high. so hopefully i can make the doc happy and she will leave me alone. i hate taking medications!

interesting that you hate taking medications (so do I !!) -- and you took a picture of what turns out to be "echinacea" --which is a natural herb and remedy!! I do love the petals, the windswept look, the uniqueness, the variation on the daisy -- it's a beautiful photo!!

What lovely flowers and those huge cones and droopy petals just make them so alluring. Nicely shot.

@summerfield oh, good luck. i walked and followed the diet plan - mine was 347! yikes!!!!! my doc was convinced i was going to have a stroke. i love eggs and that was sooooo hard to not have them. i don't use any dairy except ice cream and had already given it up. seems it runs in families. finally took the med but it took a bit to find one that worked - some can cause damage to the liver. one ruined my father's. he was a real health nut, exercises all the time and was a bike racer and runner for years. we ground our own flour as kids, baked our own bread, made cereal. still, high levels. never know, i guess. what will be, will be.

@cscecil - we are kindred spirits, aren't we? thanks, CS.
@deens - thank you, nadine. much appreciated.
@catsmeowb - i gave up on diets a long time ago. that's only for the young :-) i'm otherwise very healthy so i'm not really concerned. and as you said, what will be, will be.
July 18th, 2011  
Nicely captured. Those petals are cool they way they droop.
