I really hadn't intended to post another picture of flowers again so soon - three in a row! I'll try to take some solace in the knowledge that the only person to comment on my 100th post was Andrew, and he said not to worry about the flower pictures. I guess we can all blame him.
Actually, I decided to post this for Andrew and Edith who are down in Oz. It's a shot of the flowers on the little hill outside the T'Bird office - thought it might bring back memories for them of summers past.
I seem to have been going through a post-able picture dry spell of sorts lately - 11 days since my last. In an attempt to change this I even got up incredibly early (4:40 a.m.!!!) yesterday with the hope of getting something interesting at sunup, but all I got was cloud and rain. Blech. 
By my count, this is my 100th post on this blog...
I kind of wanted to find something absolutely stunning - blow everyone away - to post for the occasion, certainly not just another picture of flowers...
However, since you never know when you're gonna get that blow-everyone-away image, and since this is the best that I've got at the moment, I figured that I'd at least make an effort to identify its proper name. Took a bit of time, but finally came up with "Cytisus scoparius", also know as Scotch Broom.
I guess the question now is, should I keep going for 200? Leave a comment and tell me what you think. :)
This one is for the Fedex Delivery Gal, who had to make two attempts to deliver a package after she found the office closed when I was having lunch. I was busy taking pictures on my break, including this one when she was making the first delivery attempt. She made it clear that she wants to see a new picture posted by tomorrow!
[It took me 6 attempts to get this to post properly. Just about gave up!]
Last week was an unusually busy one at work and home. On the home front, I replaced my six-year-old laptop before it could completely die on me, then spent most of my non-work waking time (and some time I should have been sleeping) for the next four days getting all the data transferred, software configured etc. Last night I finally had a chance to take a breather, and today after work I swung by my usual hangout (Fraser River Park) to see what might catch my eye. Not really all that much today, except this collection of chain links and u-bolt. What interested me was that most of the links are new galvanized metal, while the u-bolt has a well established rusty patina. I suppose the question is "did the u-bolt rust more quickly than the chain, or is it just older than the rest of chain and and so has a head start on rusting?"
