I’ve been biking to work and going past a lot of bloomy stuff. This tree is by the veterinary school, by one of my favorite bike path sections, where you go past a couple of greenhouses, then there’s this field that’s behind the large animal veterinary building. There are usually a lot of architectural scraps from construction projects on campus piled up around the edge of the fencing, and the University Hospital stores its MRI trailer in there, and there’s usually a cow or two. It’s all under construction now; vet school’s adding on, and there’s city utility work in the street the bike path connects to, so you can’t bike by.
- Two bunches of flowers from the 3rd outdoor market of 2010
The bouquet is the first flowers I bought at the farmers’ market this year – I didn’t think the guy who sells glads in August (Waushara Gardens) would have cut flowers, so I bought the white tulips & ranunculus at the popular expensive place that always sells out – but when I got to the glad guy, he had the stripey tulips, so I put the two kinds together. The cats knocked them over, but they recovered. The arrangement seemed to me to have a Dutch Old Masters’ look, with the stripey tulips bending over to seek the light – but I don’t think I quite got that in the iPhone polaroid.
