In one of my early forays into photography on clerkmanifesto, back in the early days of the pandemic, I took a lot of pictures of flowers. I took so many pictures of flowers! They were super close up pictures of flowers. I went and got a macro attachment for my lens and got even closer up with flowers. These pictures of flowers were pretty good and won many awards.
Just kidding.
I have never won an award.
But they were pretty good pictures of flowers anyway!!!!
Eventually though my photography interests ranged farther and wider and, significantly, my macro attachment broke. So at some point there were no more pictures of flowers.
People wanted to give me awards for my pictures of flowers but they couldn't. I didn't have any.
But my new phone has a really good macro photography capability. And I have on top of that an array of computer skills on my laptop and phone (same thing pretty much) that are so wild and far ranging that when I suddenly encountered Spring on my walk today I went a little bit crazy.
There were flowers.
And there was me.
What should I do with all these flower photos?
And then it hit me. Scatter them.
So let this serve as your warning that flower photos will be appearing here on clerkmanifesto randomly and with no particular explanation until I run out of them or get sick of them, whichever comes first. Most of these are new photos of flowers. Using a complicated process I made 18 of them today, but also I took some old pictures of flowers, mentioned here in paragraph one (see paragraph one), and applied some of my interesting new techniques to those as well.
To start you off I will show you one picture of a flower that I took today. If it whets your appetite, keep your wits about you, more will be showing up at the most random times you can imagine.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
