Perennial

I was out there this past week photographing a few different flowers speckled with raindrops when the sun came out after a shower. I wasn’t happy with what I’d captured, but I knew I’d photographed these same flowers many times before, so my quest is as perennial as the flower. They’ve grown in my yard all the years I’ve lived here. Each year I try to find something new about them, but possibly I’ve run out of ideas after a couple decades.

From a May morning in 2009 I found a pink columbine in profile, a cool and warm wash of light from above, and tiny speckles of water all over the petals.
