Some flowers

I was hard pressed to come up with a flower photo for today's blip, as I have no garden and none in my home.  Then I came across this pretty little box which once contained a gift bar of soap.

It was not a very quiet day, in that the auto body shop across the alley was operating at full volume and the noise was so loud that I had to close the window next to the bike.  But it was such a warm day that I couldn't bike with the window closed, even with the fan on.  So it was off the bike and then on again when things got quieter and I could open the window, repeating over the course of the day.  I think I'm going to need to get ear plugs, because the level of noise is really dangerous to the ears.
