I'm having a hard week. Dr. Nice is on vacation and it's just Dr. Barton and I to handle the clinic. I've been working since last Friday and had a pretty busy weekend. Monday and Tuesday were insane. Yesterday was not as busy but I felt awful - I am pretty sure I was running a fever all day. Tired. Achy. Yucky.
But it was a GLORIOUS June day outside. Absolutely stunning. Warm, but not hot. Not humid. Clear skies.
When I got home, there was that wonderful evening glow happening. I decided to take advantage of it and do something 'fun' in order to unwind and relax. I took the picture of the peacock feather and just when I was ready to come inside, I saw my hastas blooming in the back yard. Not yet time to go inside....
I took several pictures of them from the side. And then I realized that I could actually get underneath them. I've read that the best way to take pictures of flowers is to go at them from a different angle than how we usually see them. From underneath is a great way to achieve just that.
I actually laid down in the mulch and had the camera sitting on my face. My face = tripod. :) I got some really good shots, but this one is my favorite.
I also got a few bug bites and had a spider crawling on my shoulder when I came inside. :)
All in a day's work. And play.

I love this pic, too. Maybe I'll set up a L.Sheridan gallery in my house and invite people over for viewing parties...
