Hanging Basket

'Tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes!

~William Wordsworth
I snapped this gigantic basket of flowers at Thun Field [Pierce County Airport]. We'd stopped for lunch and to watch the small plane traffic in and out, though I must admit, I was more attracted to these brilliant baskets.

The entrance to the restaurant was flanked by two baskets, and several more hung over the deck that faced the runways. The flowers fairly popped with color from every corner, probably made all the brighter by the high drizzly sky. The baskets were enormous -- and the blooms seemed quite vigorous, despite last week's sudden and prolonged heat wave that sent the temperatures into the 90s.

We enjoyed a great lunch and checked out some of the small planes and the jewel of Thun Field, a newly restored DC-3 -- but more on her in another post. For today I just wanted to share this basket of flowers with you.

Thanks for visiting today!
