Hard Way Home

I never did learn how to follow the rules
I never was good at sleeping while the moon was full
I just lie and burn
Wreck my mind while the planet turns
I sometimes wish I could start again
I’d try and do the right thing every now and then
I’d step in line
That’s what I would do if I could turn back time
-Brandi Carlile

Thursdays are for flowers! This Thursday I’m going to share the final collection of flower images I took at the Iowa State Fair this year.

This is the closest I’ve ever come to getting a decent picture of a hummingbird.

I can’t wait to get back to the Discovery Garden again this year and do some more flowertography. One of the truest tonics for the soul that this guy has ever come across.
