going, going…gone

my husband will on occasion say, as he did today, “you pulled that photo out of your ass”. it’s a compliment. it means he’s impressed. he also has a strong preference for interesting photos, over pretty photos. so, i can only conclude that he finds this photo of mullein (in three different phases) interesting. as do i. we both have a soft spot for mullein–that sculptural sentry that stands so tall and proud along our roadsides of mostly mounded soft-leaved lushness.
