Bloom

Wednesday, August 4, 2010

This picture was taken today at the Mercer Slough Blueberry Farm. Went

picking with my mother and a friend. We had a good time, except that all

the blueberries were either dead, unripe, or the bushes were stripped

bare...Not nearly as successful as our raspberry picking...This is a picture

of a sunflower they had inside the warehouse.

50 Word Story:

Late Bloomer

Closed up in a bud. So new and barely alive in the world. Through cold

nights and hammering rain, it stayed safe in the bud. "When will it bloom?"

the young ones asked. "In time." Warm, mild spring days came. The sun

shone down. And it slowly opened, unexpectedly vibrant.
