I've got just a few more photos to share from various spots around town. It's a motley collection of things that interested me as I passed by, so here goes.
The Bridal Wreath Spirea I've seen on my travels have been absolutely beautiful , their stems draping with the weight of blossoms.
We've got lots of the miniature daisies running rampant through the grass. I wish they were much more widespread.
On my short travel route I spotted these beautiful deep blue Iris in bloom.
And across the street my friends have this nice patch of light coloured Pinks.
I've noticed the Silver Maples are dropping their seeds in great drifts along the roadsice.
And in the patches of roadsides allowed to flourishm the grasses are starting to bloom.
Finally I saw this gorgeous line of Poppies down the side of a driveway about two weeks ago.
Those are the sorts of observations that keep me going, since I often can't get any further afield. But I've got to keep my brain active one way or another!
Your brain is so active, believe me. The flowers along the roadside, and the iris are stunning, I do like the tall stems that show them off beautifully.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous! Great captures as well. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the Spirea and the Poppies.
ReplyDeleteLove the daisies, my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThe details in nature are so pretty. You capture them well, FG.
ReplyDeleteThey are all so pretty, and the spirea is simply gorgeous. When I walk, I take the same path almost every time, and yet I always see something different. Being present and observant makes for some beautiful moments.
ReplyDeleteI remember the bridal wreath from my childhood, my grandparent's neighbors had a huge plant that bloomed heavily every year. Another memory from my childhood brought back by your post was the polynoses we made from the maple samaras and stuck to our own noses. Thank you for bringing back those memories.
ReplyDeleteI love all the flowers you photographed on your trip around town.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have more motely days as these are great photos.
ReplyDeleteI admit to my fav being the poppies...but if I'd gone along side you, I would have also enjoyed each of those flowering plants!!
ReplyDeleteyou live in such a lovely area!
ReplyDeleteI haven’t seen many daisies yet, so I will probably see a bunch when I next go out.
ReplyDeletePretty flowers! My mom had a spirea like that.
ReplyDeletegorgeous, such pretty flowers!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great variety of flowers that you captured. I owned spirea at the old place and none at the new place. It was seen often around rural farmsteads. My old place had nine or more. I have not heard of the short daisy before now.
