Last bluebonnet post. : )

Hope you haven’t missed me too much the last few days (okay, weeks) but things have been hectic.  Hopefully I can get back into the swing of blogging before too long.

Enjoy the last bluebonnet!

As some of you may have noticed, I missed last Friday’s post. This Friday maybe a repeat of that. My apologies in advance. Life is sure busy here. : )

Otherwise, we’re still in the bluebonnet theme for Tuesdays. Here’s a more detailed shot than the others I’ve shown here so far. If you look closely, you can even see some of the wildlife (aka bugs) that live around bluebonnets.

I love bluebonnets. : ) I don’t think I could have a prettier state flower (well, unless I could have a daisy or sunflower… but I shouldn’t admit it, being a born and bred Texan).

Happy Tuesday! : )

Black & White: Inspiration

Friday, May 7th, 2010

It’s definitely time to share the loveliness of others.

I’ve been really enjoying black & white lately & so I thought I’d make the rest of you enjoy it too. ; )

Bluebonnet Tuesday

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

It’s bluebonnet time in Texas. : )  They started blooming probably 3 weeks ago… I’ve always been a bluebonnet fan, yes, partially due to Texas pride, but also just because they’re so pretty.

There’s a lovely field of flowers in Hatchel Cemetery.  The juxtaposition of tombstones & the lovely flowers (including blue bonnets, those pink flowers you can see in the image, sunflowers, irises, and more) is both beautiful and solemn.

I’ll be posting more blue bonnet/flower images that I took in that cemetery over the next few weeks.

Happy Tuesday!

PS Thank you, Uncle Jeff, for telling me about it & how to get there! : )
