Senior Citizen Flower

The crocus bloomed late this year.... seems with a hard winter they bloom in February, with a mild one, March. I also realized that this same plant has been blooming since I was little... and came to discover via online research that Prairie Crocus can live 50 plus years.... I'm going to see if I can get a senior discount on plant food.... hardy little dickens.... and so welcome each spring. Nikon D3, 105mm macro lens, F22, ASA400. Tripod and cable release...

The House of Sulzberger; A Pictorial History

Above, Patriarch of the family... Doober Von Shitinholen.... who changed his name after the invention of the indoor privy to Sulzberger. Below the Princess Ivan Gottitenass of Anorexia de Blueven with whom Doober had a dalliance in 1533. This was an illicit relationship between unequals and led to the War of the Petunias which lasted over three weeks.
One son, below, came from this union. Skippy Von Steppeninit, who, fortunately inherited his mother's charm, good looks and vast territories in Schushen End Gesundheit which was renowned for its deposits of licorice and incredibly loose women and door hinges.

Skippy was raised by his maiden aunt Baroness Lugi tut a Lugi who, after extensive research, has proven to be his actual mother... a fact unknown to the young Prince.
Skippy Sulzberger was consort to Queen Elizabeth of England during her reign and, like all old people who are married for hundreds of years, they grew to look like each other. There was one child from this trystification but we don't know who the mother was. As a result of a misspoken phrase, Skippy was beheaded. His Lopped Off has been handed down from generation to generation since to instruct that manners do matter.
The picture below has nothing to do with the Sulzberger epic, I just like the hat.
Skippy Sulzberger's son eventually became Ardnack the First who secretly ruled the British Empire in a shadow government behind all the royals for decades. He died in a shrimp boat accident on the Adriatic. His Great, Great, Grandson Terrance of Northtown is the last surviving direct descendent of Skippy. The family fortunes have fallen so far in our egalitarian world that he can't even hitch a ride on a cow.... sad....

Kauffman Center

Finally did a photo safari to the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts today as it was lovely out.... decided black and white was the way to go. All taken with the Nikon D3 and 14-24mm lens. ASA 200... F22 throughout. Multiple exposures for each shot.
