New England Aster


Aster Diptych

We've had a somewhat uneventful weekend.
I suppose that maybe I'm saving it up till Wednesday.
Tomorrow I'll pack so that we can high tail it out of here after work on Tuesday.
Other than that, cleaning the house is always necessary before we leave
to go on a trip, which is what we spent most of the day doing.
I just like to come home without feeling like I need to do housework.

When I came home on Friday,
I was surprised to find 5 different bouquets in the kitchen.
I just got around to arranging them all today, and plan to take some photos tomorrow.
Until then, you can enjoy these dainty, New England Asters I found in the field next door.

    I love that first double image - lovely!

    I'm so with you on having a clean house before going away. When you come back it's just the laundry. :)

    Have a safe trip and lots of fun.

    I grew some astors this year for the first time. Someone gave them to me and I didn't even know what they were until they bloomed. I like the color of yours.

    I love this affect.

    As with most things in life, perspective holds all the keys for appreciating true beauty.

    lovely ttv shot, sometimes I wish mine wasn't as dusty and dirty. I think I prefer the soft look you've got going on here.

    The asters are so delicate and beautiful. I'm the same way about wanting a clean house when I leave town (or as clean as it ever is since I'm not big on cleaning).
