At Samson Park, the wind blew the heads of these flowers. It was far too windy to capture an image the showed detail in the flower against the blue background.

While driving to the conference center on Saturday morning, the sun was rising behind the low cloud bank. I exited the highway at the Tech Center to head the monument. This monument is surrounded by several flagstaffs. At night, the monument and flags are lit by several colored lights. On this morning, I was lucky enough to capture an image with the sun rising behind the cloud bank. A few seconds later the cloud bank thickened to hide the sun completely.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1521\" style=\"width: 342px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/matchgrun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/0984-0002-Foggy-Sunrise-At-The-Tech-Center.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1521\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1521\" title=\"0984-0002-Foggy-Sunrise-At-The-Tech-Center\" src=\"https:\/\/matchgrun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/0984-0002-Foggy-Sunrise-At-The-Tech-Center.jpg\" alt=\"0984-0002-Foggy-Sunrise-At-The-Tech-Center\" width=\"332\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matchgrun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/0984-0002-Foggy-Sunrise-At-The-Tech-Center.jpg 332w, https:\/\/matchgrun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/0984-0002-Foggy-Sunrise-At-The-Tech-Center-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 332px) 100vw, 332px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1521\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Foggy Sunrise At The Tech Center<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The flagstaffs usually have the same decorative flag on each staff; these flags are changed frequently.
