Firecracker Columbine

The columbine outside of my kitchen and pantry windows has simply exploded in my absence! My grandmother planted them decades ago, and still they flourish.  She called them firecracker columbines, and the fairy like heads sit atop very tall, wispy stems.  Today, I paint from my garden, but everywhere I went while running errands - I longed to set up my easel and paint!  I think I need a small guerrilla thumb box to just pop in the car for those quick little trips out.  Any one of them could turn into a painting adventure!  Painting number 858 in 858 days.
