Fun In The Sun

I've never grown hollyhocks before, only admired them from afar and in catalogs. They are quite enjoyable, with their big showy flowers and sky-reaching stalks.

As loud and bright as the red blossom is, the pink is more delicate and calm...but every bit as fantastic. I now hope I'll have hollyhocks every year after this one.

The heat and humidity began its return engagement today, and they say our region will build into a real heat wave as the weekend progresses. I'm all for it (which I think is always a good attitude to have about weather you have no control over); it's July, after all.

Here's an untamed assortment of shasta daisies, oregano and daylilies.

With the sunshine so bright and a clear forecast ahead, I knew there'd be some nice sunset action tonight, and so I headed down to see about capturing a few of those classic Cape Cod Bay moments. I love photographing sunsets out here, or even just watching them. They're like snowflakes: no two are exactly alike.
