I walk two miles every day except Sunday…weather permitting…and I go the same route through our neighborhood. However, I often do not pay enough attention to what I walk near. The other day I carried my camera along and it was that which made me look around me more than normal…and I saw these morning glories in bloom, poking up through the asphalt roadway, in the midst of several fallen pine cones. I liked the scene…and here it is for you to enjoy as well.
One of our neighbors decided to paint their mailbox last week…and I thought it looked very nice in the midst of the flowers in bloom underneath. Why “purple” I wondered…why not I answered.
We have numerous Iris plants around our home…this year they look better than they have in years. I like getting in close so that the center portion of the flower is sharp and prominent.
The warm winter has caused flowering trees to blossom earlier than usual this year. And, for me that’s made for lots of nice photographs to capture. Here are a few. No explanation needed.
This year we’re seeing lots more flowering trees and bushes coming into bloom earlier than in recent years. It’s been an unusually mild winter. I hope this does not mean the summer is going to be unusually hot. Whatever, I’ll be able to find something to photograph.
The flowers are fake, but my photo is definitely real. When I walk around with my camera, in places that one might suspect are devoid of photo subjects, I always seem to find something interesting to capture digitally. Maybe it’s luck…maybe not.
With the unusual warm weather we are having this year across the United States (less Alaska which is way below normal) I felt these two photos of winter cabbage growing in a pot next to a doorway made for a pretty photo. Not sure of you can eat it but it’s sure nice to look at.
These somewhat poor looking daisies are still hanging on close to our home. The unusually warm weather we’ve been having is responsible. When I was a kid growing up in Little Rock, Arkansas, we used to call these flowers, “She-loves-me-she-loves-me-not.” Anyone else remember that? I always got “she loves me not.”
