today's problem: summer heat

today the heat will be thoroughly kicking in and i expect that will be the end of my bluebells. 

heavenly blues

today has been mostly overcast and rainy here in the nation's capitol, but i managed to sneak in a dog walk between torrential downpours...despite the fact that it was well past noon, these heavenly blue morning glories were wide open and shining like a beacon through the heavy mist.
