pansy pilgrimmage

I spent part of yesterday trolling Ashland for a decent pansy flower. I had to re-shoot a photo (at editor's request) for a book I'm working on, but it's easier than it sounds to reshoot a pansy photo. Who's got good pansies in mid-summer? It was fun, though, riding around Ashland looking for windowboxes that hadn't been purged of pansies and borders where there might be a pansy plant still blooming under summer annuals. (Thank you Terry Blair for letting me harvest a bloom from one of your last pansy plants!)  I found enough pansies to accomplish my mission, and here is one photo that resulted.
