Back in the Groove

Back in the Groove

After our trip to the Boundary Waters, it took me a while before I 

really felt like taking photos for the journal again. I still had a lot 

of images from the trip running through my head.

Then a couple of weeks ago, I took my camera in to work. At lunch 

time I went out front and ran across the same patch of prairie plants 

that I took pictures of earlier this spring. The difference was that 

now they were in full bloom.

I ended up chasing this bee around for a while, which I imagine 

was pretty amusing for folks passing by.

At the other end of my daily commute to the city is an unremarkable 

six-story brick office building. Unremarkable, that is, except for a 

sometimes ragged looking native prairie landscape planted between 

the street and the front entrance.

A few days ago I was out front, waiting for my ride home and noticed 

this particular plant unfurling. I didn't have my camera with me, but I 

brought it into work the next day. It only took a few moments to fall 

into a completely different kind of world.
