I love that kind of lighting.
It made for some interesting pictures, though, as spouse and I headed to the Vestal Rail Trail before our son came over to do some yardwork for us.
This wildflower is called Dame's Rocket or Sweet Rocket. As beautiful as it is, it is also a noxious, invasive weed and should never be planted in any garden.
This is not phlox. You'll note the four petals where phlox has five petals.
It's really too bad, because it is so pretty. It comes in white, pink, and even multicolored.
I apologize for the shadows - my back was cranky today and I couldn't bend that well to get the best angle.
No matter. I hope this beauty brings a smile to your day today.
Interesting that you point out he is a non-combat veteran. I had a friend who always made a point of letting folks know he was not in combat. But another friend acts like he fought in Korea, when actually he sat in Virginia. Still, they are all veterans and did their part for our country. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you to your spouse for his service.
