evening drive, getting the shot, and what are these?

Purple

Field of Purple

our little family went on a drive yesterday and happened upon this strange field filled with funky purple flower weed type things….i have no idea what these are, but they looked unbelievably cool in the summer sun haze, so i decided that i had to snap a few pictures.

“snapping a few pictures” wasn’t as easy as it had seemed it would be. first off, i was wearing flip flops and having to march my way through dirt, weeds, stickers, tall grass, and other not fun things to get to the mysterious purple bud flower weeds (or whatever they are). second, i couldn’t stop myself from imagining snakes slithering by my feet as a hiked to this spot. i hate snakes. i don’t think there is anything else in the world i dislike as much as i dislike snakes (squirming even now, as i am writing this). and last, once i had stepped out of the car, the bugs started to dance around me and then eat me alive! ugh! (more squirming) and i couldn’t stop myself from thinking, “i’m going to get west nile!”

somethings never leave us, and unfortunately, dramatics is one of them.

the pictures turned out really neat though. to me, the purple flower weeds (or whatever) seem to belong in a fairy tale…but to know if they are on the hero’s side of the story or the villan’s side, i cannot tell, can you?

Wow! I have no idea what those are, but I think you did a fantastic job of capturing their whimsical summery essence. I would say in a fair fight they would be on the good side rather than the evil. Mostly because purple is my favorite color.
