IMG_0001 Among the summer blessings in our home town of Ludlow, VT are Laura's flowers. Laura provides from her garden each summer flowers for the church altar and her flowers are absolutely gorgeous. Today I was drawn to a tiny flox flower framed by the curve of a petal from a very large  lily. I had my phone camera and decided to try and get a picture. Laura now lives in her childhood home and she explained to me that this particular flox was over a hundred years old having been planted in the garden by Laura's mother. This picture also afforded me an opportunity to practice my mobile photo processing skills before my trip to AK next week. The photo was automatically uploaded to my Dropbox cloud storage. I then accessed it with my iPad Mini and processed it with iPhoto on the iPad. From there I uploaded it to my blog gallery using another iPad app and then made this post, again using the iPad. Assuming I can get some internet access in AK, I hope to do some fishing reports from there. Thank-you to Laura for the inspirational 100 year old flox.
