Anyway

Last weekend, as I wandered through Colorado, I stopped on a whim at a public park in Longmont. Part of the park is an enormous rose garden, dedicated to the veterans who have served our country.

It was mid-day, which meant the bright sun was not in optimal position for taking pictures. It was hot and I was out of water. The battery on my phone (which I used for the pictures) was nearly dead.  And I needed to get to the airport.

 

Really, I had no business taking pictures.

 

I took them anyway.

These are all un-retouched.  While some of the images could be better (bright sun + iPhone lens = blur), I want to remember the reality. The stunning colors and intoxicating scents.

Lesson for the day: do it anyway.
