Flowers

Some flower pictures from the past few months 

& comments on why I took the picture

the first week of April - dandelions have bloomed & gone to seed alread!

in a beautiful Mother's Day bouquet

yellow roses were Michael Todd's favorite

Every spring I comment on the beauty of the rhododendron

and how difficult it is for my iPhone camera to capture the reds

I was struck by the contrast between the vivid light greens and deep reds in 

these side by side plants - glorious

Rhododendron bloom a bit at a time.

They start as a tight bud pictured above. 

more and more

We are a bit like this - we are born with the light of Christ. As we learn of Him, follow Him and try to become like Him, that light brightens bit by bit until people can see and feel Him in our countenances.  

a friend brought a beautiful bouquet of tulips

friends & flowers brighten our lives

sun helps these flowers bloom

 and compacts the trash in the solar compactor behind the flowers
