Very Pink Cosmos © 2010 Bo Mackison
We spent a long but enjoyable day at Mt. Horeb’s Art Fair. The crowds were festive and spirited, even though it was hot and humid. We’ll be back again tomorrow for the second day of the art show.
Thunderstorms are predicted in the early morning hours, but hoping maybe the storms will pass us by. We’ll see…
This pink cosmos was photographed last week at Allen Centennial Gardens on the University of Wisconsin’s campus in Madison.

There is a new article in my series, Memoir Space, now up on The Calm Space, an online magazine published by Karen Wallace.
In the article, I share an excerpt of a letter I wrote to a special woman in my life, and show how easy it is to write a bit of your life story. It’s as easy as writing a letter – yes, a handwritten letter! – and including it in a special occasion card. Go ahead. Take a minute and read Spreading Happiness by Sharing Memories.
The water lilies were photographed at Chicago Botanic Garden. I’ve been working with desaturated photographs, and in this photo, I left only a hint of the original color, while keeping the emphasis on the two sunlit lilies.
Hope you enjoy both the article and the lilies.

My first wander through the Wisconsin prairies this summer – a feast of color. The pale purple coneflowers were in full bloom and danced merrily with huge stands of orange milkweed. There were a few tall yellow compass plants, towering a good five or six feet high and bright orange wood lilies, too. Plus the waving grasses.
I so love the prairie in bloom.
