Looking Down and Looking Up.....

A beautiful few days in Port....nice days for dog-walking. Quiet in the mornings as we go up and down the bike path or around one of our area parks. The song birds, the breeze.....a quick "hello" to anyone we pass. But mostly the morning quiet.

Also quiet beauty in bloom. Soft colors.....the wildflowers that some consider "weeds". Gentle blue, pink and yellow. Some of my favorites.....pale blue chickory complementing white Queen Ann's lace with  peek-a-boo pink crown vetch hiding near yellow bird's-foot-trefoil. Soft colors peeking between bushy greens. Some people just see the "tangle"....I see the intricate design and the blossoming....the beauty in unexpected places.....

....and the pale purple wild bergamot...waiting to welcome a bee.

And then I look up.......

Lovely summer days in Port Washington.
