coming, going, gone
Happy Last Day of May! I saw the columbine blooming in my woods, and do to business thought I had missed my chance to capture their strange beauty. I guess you could say I was lucky I didn’t try to photograph them earlier, because I wouldn’t have gotten this three-in-one shot: one flower bud, one flower blossom, and one swelling green seed capsule. Oh, how I love happy accidents.
wild red columbine (Aquilegia canadensis)
Definitely a happy thing! This columbine is my fave and it’s taken a while to establish in my garden, but worth the wait, for sure. I’m enjoying the year of black background more than I thought I would :)
