I like to call this image June because I can never recall all of the accurate names of flowers (Pansy) and when I get them wrong, some dweeb is always out there eager to correct me. People on social media love to correct other people, it gives them a sense of power and purpose in a world where we are often made to feel helpless.

I am all for truth, but it feels to me like a swarm of hungry bees, looking for something to puff them up.

I took this photo with an art lens from Lomography, and I like the way it processes color, it has that Russian glass I have come to like in some of my photos. This photos lifts me up right away, it is a pure boost of hope and affirmation for me.

I am grateful to be back in the season of affirmation.
