Good morning. 🌻🌻🌻

30 June 2025

It's Monday, isn't it? I can tell—because it feels like a Monday morning, when everything you touch either fumbles or topples over like it's part of a prank show you didn’t sign up for. When I woke up, Charlie and I shuffled outside. I collapsed onto the bench by the back door and stared, zombie-like, into space. To be fair, I did all the stumbling; Charlie just tagged along in solidarity. The good news? I’m pretty sure I kept my mouth closed the whole time—and no drool, either. Victory! Positive thinking really does go a long way. I think I'll start calling this groggy state “morning head”—and no, I’m not talking about my hair, though I have that going on as well. Has anyone coined that phrase yet, or am I the trailblazer of brain fog? 🎶 This is how we start our day so early in the morning…

#morning #flowers #Monday

"A sun-soaked cluster of black-eyed Susans—Rudbeckia hirta—bursts forward in this photograph like golden flames caught mid-dance. Each blossom is crowned with a rich, velvety center the color of dark roasted coffee beans, perfectly round and slightly raised. From these shadowy centers radiate silky yellow petals, slender and sunlit, with a gentle droop that gives each flower an expressive tilt—like they’re bowing to summer’s warmth or whispering secrets to the wind. The field behind them is awash in soft focus—lush green leaves blur into painterly smudges, and other flowers echo quietly from the background. The depth of field isolates the blossoms at the front, allowing their vivid hues to shine like nature’s exclamation points. It’s a frame full of motion even in stillness, where color and light conspire to make you feel the texture of sunlight itself. A small signature in the bottom right— © Swede’s Photographs”—adds a note of pride and authorship, gently tying the whole composition together like the final stroke of a painter’s brush." - Copilot
