130/365: "Diligence is the mother of good luck." ~ Benjamin Franklin


This morning I went out to take pictures when I remembered a surprise I discovered yesterday! On the edge of our road, there's one place where Purple Goatsbeard grows. I tried to take pictures of this flower two years ago with my older camera, but sadly they didn't come out. Last year I was on the lookout for them each day and just when they were about to bloom, deer came by and ate the flowers! DRAT AND BLAST! I was so unhappy and I made a note to keep an eye open this year to see if I would get lucky. The other day I noticed they were growing, and yesterday they looked like they might be opening up, so this morning I went down to check and I squealed, "OHHHHHHH!!!" when I saw three of them open! What a delight! I took a bunch of pictures, and I hope that you like the three that I'm showing today. I think I'll try again tomorrow for more pictures, I'm not sure these are good enough for these lovely blossoms! :)
Benjamin Franklin (January 17, 1706 – April 17, 1790) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. A noted polymath, Franklin was a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, musician, inventor, satirist, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. As a scientist, he was a major figure in the American Enlightenment and the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity. He invented the lightning rod, bifocals, the Franklin stove, a carriage odometer, and the glass 'armonica'. He facilitated many civic organizations, including a fire department and a university.
