These two flowers are from two separate shoots. The rose is from a small park in Boston’s North End. The wildflower image was made along the side of the road north of the White Mountains. They are so different and yet beautiful in their own way.

Very nice, that first one is my favorite.
Oh thank you. That rose is really pretty. Cheers
good idea to juxtapose the country and city blooms.
when you presented them this way it took on a different feel
Thank you. When I was looking at material to present today, I looked at each one separately and then decided that they felt more interesting as a pair. Cheers
yes – good pairing for sure – and did add interest.
and funny, but just yesterday I shared a little analogy about the country dog and city dog.
It is not the best, but comes up at times when reminding parents to offer structure without being too harsh.
because a convo came up about how some “PKs” called pastor kids – go to college and act like a city dog where they go wild and act stupid – (and the city dog is sometimes referred to as the one who bolts out through a crack in the door whereas the country dog has freedom and strolls the yard with confidence) – and so seeing your post reminded me of that too
That’s really a great analogy. Sometimes freedom at a younger age leads to less repression and acting out later.
yes – well said – and the analogy is not perfect (because city dogs can be quite amazing – eh?) but it is good for chatting
That they are – very pretty. I’m rather fond of the second photo because of it’s composition. Makes me feel I’m in a field of them 🙂
Thanks, Teri. It was indeed a field of them. It was pretty and just waiting on the road side. Happy Weekend. Cheers
I am always in awe of your country’s roadside blooms. Simply so pretty and colorful. Love the rose!☺👍
