i shot these formerly bright orange poppy blossoms for STILL about two weeks ago, and posted them here. then i left them on my kitchen counter, and forgot about them. are their breathtaking colors, with the orange appearing actually to be leaking out of the petals, a reward for the virtue of patience, or a reward for the vice of sloth? in either case, i feel completely validated in whatever it was i had in mind.
