Communication Breakdown

Yesterday, while right in the middle of actually doing something constructive on the web here, our ENTIRE county had a technological breakdown - lost the phones, 911 system, and my blessed INTERNET! At first I thought it was my router. Nope. It checked out fine. O.k., modem? Nope. That was fine too. Everything plugged in? YUP.I must have plugged, unplugged and reset everything 4 times. I even went so far as to go outside and check the line going to the ' internet hub thingy'...that was alright. Mmmmk. Now what? I picked up the phone...and dialed the '24/7 tech support' for my ISP... but all I got was a funny beeping tone. Great. Tried to call another number. Same thing. Couldn't even call out of state! Time to try the cellphone...but NO. THAT wasn't working either!
At this point, I'm getting a little frustrated.Eh?
Well, long story short, I got all of my communications back this morning. Finally.

At this point, you are probably asking yourself,
' What does this have to do with photography?'.
Well, since I had this extra time on my hands, I grabbed the camera and took a few shots of the flowers I had growing in a planter...and one weed. NO idea what they are...but they were pretty.
