Morning is often a nice time for flower photos. There might be some dew. The sunlight is typically softer, and a bit more directional so there might be interesting shadows. One of the fun things is putting the flower between the camera and the sun. This gets a bit tricky at times, depending on where the flower is in relation to a wall, and how prone the lens might be to flare.
These are from Thursday morning. It was lovely and soft outside, but I'm pretty sure it'll be like yesterday, smoking hot in the afternoon, with some ominous clouds rolling in. Night before last was a huge thunder and lightning storm. That's kind of typical for Calgary for about this time of year. A nice morning, afternoon rain showers or storms, then a nice evening. It happens a lot during Stampede. We sometimes joke that the clouds just want to join the party.

The Alberta separatism thing started off stupid and is getting stupider. I'm trying not to let it get to my blood pressure.
In film news, Thursday morning I finished roll 10 in the film project, and developed it in the afternoon. That went pretty well, ending up editing 12 of the 16 frames.
The task today is to unearth some drawers that store old statements and bills. The community association got stiffed by the company that was supposed to send a shredding truck to our clean up event a couple weeks ago. We've got a different company coming on Saturday.

From Sean: "Yeah to flowery Friday. There is much to like about 3 including some clever framing. I also find the very hot petal distracting. I love the saturated colours of 4. 5 though is the one that I linger on the longest."
