Such beautiful flowers and greens! I can’t help but stop to snap pictures of flowers I’ve photographed lots of times before. Purple coneflower, black eyed Susan, sunflower, thistle! Never get tired of them!
I felt this way yesterday in Michigan. One of the first days of real spring as we break out of the gray days of winter. I felt like spinning around our hills singing..."The hills are alive with the sound of SPRING!" The wild violets are out in full bloom and we picked some for jelly, and our daffodils look amazing!, my "Easter" tree/bushes have all bloomed. I miss our East Texas Landscapes...but not the pollen!!! Thanks for sharing pictures! I wish I had been there with you all!!!
It would have been a blast to have you with us, Anna! I’m glad you’re catching spring fever up there now (the non-stuffed-head kind). Do you have any lilacs? They probably aren’t out quite yet, but those are what I miss most!
Loren, I love how your enthusiasm for the particular beauty of the particular place where you're planted shines through in this post! As Mary Oliver said in her "Rules for Living a Life": "Pay attention. Be amazed. Tell about it." You are doing exactly that!
Loren this is a treat for my wildflower-starved eyes! We had a whirlwind trip to TXthis past weekend and I never got to see any bluebonnets. 🙁 So glad you had a wonderful day with your friend! Thank you for sharing with us.

Each one is beautiful each time!

Thanks Emma!
I loved your choice of the adjective "garnet." It stood out to me, so I love that you addressed that word choice later in your post.
Aren’t words wonderful? I love how certain ones just feel right in certain places.
Ah, we have that red clover! It grows along the highways for some reason. Very risky to pick, ha.
I’ve often thought that! There’s so much there to enjoy...but impossible to get....
Maybe they grow as much in one place as another but the highway is just where they're left alone.

Happy to give you a taste!
