Photographer's Notes
I scouted some potential photo sites on Thursday and made my plan to shoot at dawn on Saturday. On the fateful day, I awoke at 5:30, was out the door at 6:15. After two cemeteries, a cup of coffee, and gas, I was home at 7:15. A most productive morning.

Few outside the US Pacific Northwest will remember Jimi Hendrix is buried here in the Greenwood Memorial Park in Renton Washington.

Purple Haze Lyrics - They don't write songs like this anymore
Purple haze, all in my brain
Lately things they don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
Excuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple haze, all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
What ever it is, that girl put a spell on me

Help me
Help me
Oh, no, no

Ooo, ahhh
Ooo, ahhh
Ooo, ahhh
Ooo, ahhh, yeah!

Purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You got me blowin', blowin' my mind
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?

Ooo
Help me
Ahh, yea-yeah, purple haze
Oh, no, oh
Oh, help me
Tell me, tell me, purple haze
I can't go on like this
Purple haze
You're makin' me blow my mind
Purple haze, n-no, nooo
Purple haze

Hello from the critique club...

Special note* I had almost forgotten that Jimi was buried there. I am also a Hendrix fan.

On to the pic...The colors are quite nice. I like the contrast between the green grass and the purple flowers. "purple haze" For the most part the detail is good. However, the clouds seem a little bit blah to me. Also I like your crop. I think that turned out nicely.

Happy shooting
