Friday's Assignment


Make an interpretive photo of a subject or scene that sums up your mood today.

Yep, this certainly sums up my mood today.  Remember when peonies begin to grow their buds and you can hardly wait for the buds to bloom.  Peony flowers are one of the sweetest smelling flowers.  The anticipation was great, the moment they bloomed stupendous, and then the rains would fall.  One moment a beautiful flower the next day a soggy mess.  My peonies inevitably bloom Memorial Day weekend and I get maybe two days of some sweet smelling flowers.

This kind of reminds me of my end of the school year.  You know...the anticipation building up to the last day...kind of like waiting for the flower to bloom.  And then when it does you're all over it admiring and smelling and turning it to see the perfect petals.  And if you have neighbors come by you want them to admire and acknowledge it too.  I guess that's how I felt the end of this year would be.  Have a get together and acknowledge everyone for their great work during the year.  Give awards out for those who are outstanding.  Remember the ones who are leaving with kind words.  But there's always a flower who doesn't get recognized and feels less and less appreciated.  Never could understand why all are not shown some appreciation, even the ones who are innately beautiful but not as showy.
