Flowers

A thought for your day, with my good wishes to all …

Some people worry that artificial intelligence will make us feel inferior, but then, anybody in his right mind should have an inferiority complex every time he looks at a flower.

— computer scientist Alan Kay

How’s your day? Here in BC, we’re well and truly in the dog days of summer. That means we have gorgeous flowers almost everywhere: in garden beds, container gardens, on our beaches … and at our local (Kits/Kitsilano) Farmers’ Market. You’ll see a gallery of florals immediately below, beginning with the pollen-laden bee on a hollyhock. Enjoy scrolling through those pics, and the two videos below.
