It’s hard to imagine blooming flowers near Christmas time. Our temperatures normally run around 52 degrees for a low and 72 degrees for a high (Fahrenheit), with cold snaps seldom reaching freezing which allows flowers like these to help color the holiday season. Though these temperatures may seem “cold” to Floridians, people up north mustContinue reading “Winter Wonder”

Morning Magic
This morning’s eye-opener was the sight of blooms of brilliant flowers instead of coffee, though the coffee would help, I’m sure. The flowers shot up out of red, wax wrappings in just a couple of weeks to brighten our spirits as well as the days; like Christmas early. #amaryllis #blossoms #eyeopener
Catkins
The marsh along the road showed signs of the season as soft, furry blossoms of the pussy willow, known as catkins, burst forth. Yay! Spring is on its way and the appearance of such blooms is really the “cat’s meow!” #pussywillow #blossoms #spring #catsmeow
Little Red Rising Bulb
It was one of three in a box that promised holiday blooms. The other two were gifts for others and burst forth in blossoms as predicted, but this one is a bit delayed.

This is my kind of fallContinue reading “Color It Autumn”

We will enjoy the azaleas for the next several weeks as well as the roadside flowers and other plants in bloom. They seemContinue reading “Azaleas by the Bazillions”
Backyard Blossoms
It’s that time of year again, the azaleas are in full bloom. It’s more than enough to brighten any late January day. #azalea #blossoms #winter
On the Rhodies Again
I first witnessed rhodies in full bloom while driving to a temporary job in Port Townsend, Washington, many years ago. I was amazed by their abundant beauty springing up on all sides of the road. They were a healing balm to a weary mind after I had completed a very unpleasant assignment at a smallContinue reading “On the Rhodies Again”

Colorful Cayman sights like this beg to be photographed and fill the soul with happy memories.
