Can't decide on a color for the weekend? Why not take them all?

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #weekends

A shot of pink flowers in front of red flowers. They're just keeping it in the family, right?

The Flowers of Marquette @flowersofmarquette.bsky.social · 1d

More yellow, or more orange?

Discuss amongst yourselves.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #flowerphilosophy

A picture of a lily that's half orange and half yellow. Or maybe it goes 48-52 one way or the other. That's what we need to find out.

To quote a great American philosopher--

"I...wanna soak up the sun..."

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #sunflowers #sherylcrowrocks

A picture of a sunflower soaking up the sun.

Behold on this #magentamonday.

Or at the very least magenta-adjacent Monday.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #magenta

A small magenta (or at least magenta-ish) flower standing out from the crowd.

Wow. Even the second half of October (and how the heck did THAT happen?) won't stop flowers from flowering.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #octoberblooms

A picture of a red & white flower against a background of green, a sign that flowers can still grow no matter what time of the year it is.

The Flowers of Marquette @flowersofmarquette.bsky.social · 8d

Flowers, a Great Lake, AND a ladybug. These days, can you ask for anything more?

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #ladybugs #lakesuperior #thegreatestoflakes

A shot of an orange lily with a ladybug crawling over it. In the background? The Greatest of lakes, Lake Superior.

Today just feels like a purple kind of day.

That is all.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #purple

A shot of a purple flower in front of a few yellow flowers and a bunch of grass (the growing kind, not the smoking kind)

Just enjoying a little early Autumn sunshine while it's here...

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #beforethewinterblahssetin

A pink flower enjoying a few rays of sunshine before settling in for its long winter's nap.

Someone's hard at work even though it's the start of the weekend.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #butterflies #theweekend

A shot of a butterfly hard to work on a bunch of pink/purplish flowers.

The Flowers of Marquette @flowersofmarquette.bsky.social · 15d

To me, this almost seems like the floral equivalent of an ice cream sundae.

But maybe that's just me.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #flowersarenoticecream

A picture of a vividly magenta and yellow flower in front of a bunch of greenery. It looks yummy in the way most flowers usually don't.

The Flowers of Marquette @flowersofmarquette.bsky.social · 17d

No, I am NOT sticking my tongue out at you. Really, I'm not!

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #yellow

A yellow lily totally not sticking its tongue out at you. TOTALLY not...

The Flowers of Marquette @flowersofmarquette.bsky.social · 18d

Don't most people say that a little gray around the temples lends an individual a somewhat distinguished look?

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #thecarygrantofflowers #thegeorgeclooneyofflowers

A picture of an orange flower with small patches of gray on its pedals, making this floral version of Cary Grant or George Clooney.

Even in October, it's still possible to make a statement by wearing red.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #red #butnotthetaylorswiftkind

A picture of a dark red flower in front of greenery, taken on an 87 (!) degree day on October (!) in Marquette.

I like big blooms and I can not lie...

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #bigblooms #sirmixalot

A big flowering bloom of purple against a green background. If Sir Mix a Lot was signing about flowers--and we both know he wasn't--this was the kind of flower about which he'd rap.

The Flowers of Marquette @flowersofmarquette.bsky.social · 22d

Beach weather in October? On the shores of Lake Superior? We'll take it!

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #orange #imgoingtothebeach

An orange flower against a green background. The flower is quite looking forward to beach weather this weekend in an area where the highs usually max out in the 50s this time of year.

The Flowers of Marquette @flowersofmarquette.bsky.social · 24d

Oops. Guess I didn't reach everywhere with the sunscreen.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling

A flower that's half yellow half orange, much like a human being who sits out in the sun a little too long while only applying sunscreen to half of their body.

The Flowers of Marquette @flowersofmarquette.bsky.social · 25d

I'm hoping at least one of this flowers might qualify for a #magentamonday. Hopefully, I'm not wrong.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #alltheflowers

A bunch of flowers in the pink, purple, and magenta end of the spectrum. Go ahead and pick your favorite!

The Flowers of Marquette @flowersofmarquette.bsky.social · 26d

Even on a Sunday, there's no rest for the weary.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #bees #workingfortheweekend

A picture of a bee on a bunch of little yellow flowers, working overtime to make sure that pollination continues on schedule.

The Flowers of Marquette @flowersofmarquette.bsky.social · 28d

Even the flowers appear ready for the weekend...

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #weekends

A shot of a bunch of magenta flowers in front of a group of yellow flowers, all looking as if they're ready to party.

The Flowers of Marquette @flowersofmarquette.bsky.social · 29d

Ah...the feeling you get when a three-day weekend is staring you in the face.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #threedayweekendsrock

A shot of a bunch of pink & white flowers, all seemingly happy that they don't have to go to work tomorrow.

Or wouldn't, that is, if flowers actually had to work.

The Flowers of Marquette @flowersofmarquette.bsky.social · Sep 23

I like flowers that stand out from the crowd.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #daretobedifferent

A lily with a very unusual color scheme. It, apparently, was not called up by the rapture today.

The Flowers of Marquette @flowersofmarquette.bsky.social · Sep 22

Did you know that if you ignore the fact that it's the first day of astronomical fall...it doesn't actually happen?

I read that on the internet, so it's gotta be true, right?

#themoreyouknow

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling

A bunch of red (streaked with white) flowers, happily ignoring the fact that summer's now, officially & technically, over.

The Flowers of Marquette @flowersofmarquette.bsky.social · Sep 21

Is it just me, or does nature need a lot more in the way of triangular flowers?

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #triangles #itsprobablyjustme

A purple flower--in the shape of a triangle--in front of a green background. What's next--a flower in the shape of a rhombus? A parallelogram?

The Flowers of Marquette @flowersofmarquette.bsky.social · Sep 19

Here comes the sun(flower), and I say...

It's alright.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #sunflowers #withapologiestogeorgeharrison

A picture of a sunflower in front of an out-of-focus sandstone church, a floral representation of one of George Harrison's greatest songs.

Or, just perhaps, his best? Discuss amongst yourselves.

The Flowers of Marquette @flowersofmarquette.bsky.social · Sep 18

Some days, it just pays to get lost in pink.

It really does.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #prettyinpink

A group of a thousand or so (give or take a few) pink roses enjoying the bright sunshine, like we all should.
