Usually in our family weekends are for hiking, but this weekend we didn't stray far from home. We have grandparents visiting and Saturday morning hubby and I ran in a 10k race. Our hiking legs were spent.
However, unless it's pouring down rain, I like to get outside on weekends and today was no exception. We went for a walk around our neighborhood. Usually when I go around our neighborhood I'm running and don't have my camera with me, but today I had it and found quite a few interesting things to take photos of.
My apologies if this is becoming a bit of a photo blog. I just can't help myself. Slowing down to take photos of the beauty around me is just becoming part of who I am...part of my rhythm.
You can't really tell from this photo, but this dahlia is huge.
I love these heart shaped leaves. I have been fascinated by them for months now, always wishing I had my camera with me. Today I was pleased to see that some were turning yellow, making them a bit more interesting to photograph.
I enjoy the pictures. Never in my life have I seen anything like the top photo! What is it?? It is beautiful, but it doesn't look real!
ReplyDeleteMeg, I don't know what it is...I have never seen it either. It was waxy and hard. I need to do some research and see if I can figure out what it is.
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures, so beautiful and that first flowery thing is awesome. It looks almost fake, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love your photos! I was going to ask the same thing as Meg. Are they flowers? Berries? Wow,, so interesting!
ReplyDeleteThose gorgeous red star-shaped flowers with the blue centers had me intrigued! It might be what is called "Harlequin Glorybower" (Clerodendrum trichotomum). Check it out online & let me know if that is what the tree looked like.
