A Few More Things Around Town

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!

  1. 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.

  6. They 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.

  7. I 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.

  15. That 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.
