One of the things I love about this project is that it opens my eyes and changes my focus. Yesterday I spotted these huge lavender bushes along Hwy 99 in Talent. I’ve probably driven by them 20 times and not really seen them. So I decided to change up my morning walk and head over there with the M3. When I got up close and personal I realized that most of the little flowers haven’t opened yet. So there’s one to go back for. I also saw some flowers in neighborhood gardens which were interesting but not quite in full bloom so there is hope that I won’t run out of material too soon. My walk took me through downtown Talent where there were plenty of shops and residences with beautiful flowers on display. Proving once again that it is good to get out of your rut once in awhile and it is good to have a project that inspires you to do so.
