Dried Asters


Here's a couple more photos taken during my walk on Friday.  I thought these asters looked photo-worthy in their dried-up condition.  This shot is my computer screen background right now...

I almost hope some snow arrives soon so I can get some wintery holiday season type photos.  Almost.  As you can see, I changed my blog background and border to Christmas colors.  I wish the changeover didn't get applied to all of the previous blogposts, too, but it does.

I'm watching a PBS special about Peter, Paul & Mary at the moment.  Their harmonies make me want to sing along.  I like the challenge of finding the harmony parts.  That's why I sing alto at church, though I can reach soprano, too.  Right now, Noel Paul Stookey is singing The Wedding Song  on TV.  I sang that at a couple weddings many years ago.  Our music teacher in grade school sometimes played a Peter, Paul & Mary record album for us.  We'd sing along to If I Had a Hammer  and Puff the Magic Dragon  and This Land is Your Land.

  1. Hi, Jeannelle. These images are beautiful. I can see why you chose the first one for your current desktop background. I was a big fan of Peter, Paul, and Mary, too. Their music doesn't speak to me like it did back then, but I still appreciate their harmony.

  2. I grew up with Peter, Paul and Mary. I even had triplets by those names this year, and nobody my age or younger understands. So sad. The asters are beautiful, even if they are dead.
