It IS finally the weekend, isn't it?

Don't mind us. We're just practicing for Magenta Monday.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #magentamonday #eventhoughitsthursday
A whole big group of magenta flowers on a day that (probably) can't be classified as a Magenta Monday.

How do you like my new highlights?

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #highlights
A shot of a red & white flower, with the white appearing for all the world like the red flower decided to get highlights in its hair. Assuming, of course, that flower had hair. Or would get highlights in it.

Stand out from the crowd.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #beunique
A shot of a daisy (or two) in a field of purple wildflowers, a sure sign that individuality draws the eye much more than the masses (although, in this case, the masses look kinda cool, too).

In mid-November, we're longing for days like these.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #whenwillitbespringagain
A picture of a daffodil, spreading the word that another Spring, another season of growth, is on the way.

Why do I feel like somebody's watching me?

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #sunflowers #whateverhappenedtorockwell
A picture of a sunflower that appears to have a pink stalker behind it. Either that, or the sunflower is being tailed by the floral division of the FBI. It's one of those two.

Look. The sun finally came out today.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #yellow #photonottakentoday
A picture of a yellow lily (taken in July), looking for all the world like the sun, which today finally made its first appearance in Upper Michigan in almost a week.

For those places, like ours, where snow has turned everything into a blanket of white, here are the rest of the colors.

Just in case you've forgotten.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #colors #snowsnowgoaway
A picture of a garden filled with every color BUT white, an antidote to a snowy few days here in the Great Lakes.

I guess this could be defined as hanging on for dear life, couldn't it?

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #bees
A picture of a bee hanging onto a flower, attempting to defy gravity as it does its pollination thing.

It's supposed to snow here this weekend. These sunflowers have one simple request--

Make it stop!!!

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #wedontlikesnow
A shot of several sunflowers (behind a few purple flowers but in front of a car) screaming out to Mother nature to NOT have it snow this weekend.

Look into my eyes...uhm, eye.

It's the Cyclops of flowers, isn't it?

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #cyclops
A picture of a yellow flower, which appears to have only one eye, making it a Cyclops. Or a pirate that's taken off their eye patch.

I'm ready for my close up, Mr. DeMille.

An extreme close-up of an orange lily, acting for all the world like Gloria Swanson in "Sunset Boulevard".

I'm just guessing here, but this is probably one fun family reunion.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #tigerlily #familyreunions
A group of tiger lilys, looking like they're ready to party.

Still looking for a Halloween costume idea? May I suggest...

Zombie Sunflower??

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #zombies #sunflower #flowerslikehalloweentoo
A picture of a sunflower wearing its Halloween costume...Zombie Sunflower. I'm not quite sure how they become zombie-fied, seeing as how they can't bite each other, but I DO feel that could become the basis for the next "Walking Dead" spinoff. Or maybe that's just me.

This flower is pretty much what happens when you take red and then add more red to it.

And then top it with a dash of even more red.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #red
A picture of a red flower--a REALLY red flower--against a background of green.

I have no idea why, but this flower made me start to think--

Does pumpkin spice season end at Halloween or at Thanksgiving? Or, in reality, does it never end?

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #sunflowers #randomthoughts
A picture of an orange sunflower (so, probably, not technically a sunflower at all) that's actually the color you think of when you think of pumpkin spice.

Sometimes siblings really DO look alike.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #yestheyrerelated
A pair of pink(ish) flowers sitting side by side in front of a background of greenery. If they're not twins. they're close.

Can't decide on a color for the weekend? Why not take them all?

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #weekends
A shot of pink flowers in front of red flowers. They're just keeping it in the family, right?

More yellow, or more orange?

Discuss amongst yourselves.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #flowerphilosophy
A picture of a lily that's half orange and half yellow. Or maybe it goes 48-52 one way or the other. That's what we need to find out.

To quote a great American philosopher--

Behold on this #magentamonday.

Or at the very least magenta-adjacent Monday.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #magenta
A small magenta (or at least magenta-ish) flower standing out from the crowd.

Wow. Even the second half of October (and how the heck did THAT happen?) won't stop flowers from flowering.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #octoberblooms
A picture of a red & white flower against a background of green, a sign that flowers can still grow no matter what time of the year it is.

Flowers, a Great Lake, AND a ladybug. These days, can you ask for anything more?

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #ladybugs #lakesuperior #thegreatestoflakes
A shot of an orange lily with a ladybug crawling over it. In the background? The Greatest of lakes, Lake Superior.
