Flowers Everywhere

Photos of flowers continue to attract most attention on Flickr.
Comments on streetscapes or on architectural details are scant in comparison to the praise given to flower and insect photography.
Somehow nature always seems to lift spirits...

These vivid colours are caused by a survival mechanism within the trees leaves...

Sciencemadesimple at Concordia University have a very clear explanation of the chemistry involved.

Just search for "leaves autumn sugar colour".

Noticeable in bridges today is the clear, clinical design.

Wishy Washy

My washing machine has packed up.

Having considered getting a strong wash-board, as used in my childhood, I went one better.   Just posted to the Internet, asking for
help

Although I live in a climate where water falls freely in every season, conservation of this valuable resource is a priority.
Also, a speedy wash would be nice...
