Weekly Photo 2/52 for 2013: Early Gazania Bloom

ByKristen Koster

Weekly Photo (2/52) Gazania bloom by Kristen Koster on FlickrToday’s entry for my weekly photo challenge is one of the confused Gazanias in the back yard. The temperatures this week have been unusually cooler for SoCal. The highs have been in the mid-50s and the lows have been in the upper 20s. Yes, the natives think it’s parka weather. I’m happy in shirt sleeves. Anyway, after the temperatures in the mid 70s last week, the plants are confused. They thought spring was here.

I’m probably only going to post one photo each week, but I’m hoping to take more so I have a few to choose from. If I can’t pick just one or have several I like, I’ll add them to my flickr stream. I ended up taking two batches of photos this week because I didn’t really like any of the ones from the first day.

And, yes, I promise I won’t always do flowers.

I’ve been rather quiet and off the net more than usual the past three weeks because my mom passed away suddenly on February 2nd and it’s been quite a shock and as you can imagine, posting my weekly photos was the last thing on my mind. This necessitated a trip back to Maryland where I…
