Sweet Shot Tuesday – Fortitude

Angela Pea8 Comments

 

I was out on a job site taking some post-construction potos and found these grape hyacinths growing in the gutter.  Not just any gutter, mind you, but a deep gutter that I designed specifically to carry storm water runoff down into a larger channel.  These sweet babies held on through the winter storms and spring rains of the past two years and are still just as exhuberant as they can be!
