Project 64: Goldenrod

It’s hard for me to believe that we’ve done 25 weeks at Project 64. This has been the one photography challenge that I’ve stuck with week by week. I’m so far behind in Picture Inspiration, I wonder if I’ll ever catch up (although I do have a few photos to share for that as well this week.) Whenever I hear the word “goldenrod” I think of the years my husband suffered from hay fever. I think just the sight of goldenrod blooming along the road was enough to set off a spate of sneezing! It was a lot more fun to find goldenrod on our walks this week. This is a first, but these photos were all taken with my iPhone. We’ve been keeping track of our walks on a great little app called RunKeeper, so I always have my phone with me. I must admit our pace/mile suffers when I stop to capture a photo. But here’s what we saw this week:

All the fire hydrants here are goldenrod. I was surprised to see hydrants painted other colors in area where we were traveling.

I decided I rather liked this blurry photo of the school bus going down the street. Last week was the final week of school here, so it would be much harder to find one this coming week.

These were captured in someone else’s yard; ours are budded but not in bloom. You can see the water droplets on the leaves which I love. We’ve walked in the rain several days this week.

And, finally, coreopsis poking their heads through a fence in front of an apartment building. You can find more goldenrod at Project 64.
