Volunteer Flowers at State College Penn Photo & enhancement by Chris Duffy
Funny, but these “volunteer” flowers are ever bit as pretty to me as the glorious flowers Alice and I saw at Longwood Gardens a couple years ago when we took our “sister trip” to the Chesapeake Bay area and Pennsylvania. Unlike the pampered flowers at Longwood, these were sprouting up on a street corner in that grassy strip between sidewalk and street. And they were surviving with the public trampling all over them like they were a test sample at some carpet store. I took their picture because I feared they would not survive the art show we were attending.
Thought of the day: Bloom where you are.

I don’t think I got a shot of those flowers — in fact, I don’t even remember them. But then, one reason I love to take pictures is that my memory is so poor that the photos help me recall things. I hope you are feeling better today. :shysmile: Did you go to work?
That’s only one of the beauties about wild flowers , they can take a lot of abuse. There ought to be a lesson there someplace, but I’ll be darned if I can think of one now. Maybe I’m hungry . love mom :heartbeat:
They remind me of wild roses but also of something else I have seen in my mothers garden years ago with a very ferny type leave but I can’t remember the name. Lovely photo.
Lovely picture and lovely thought
