Other Fun Places

31 December 2011

Wringing out the old . . .

. . . and making room for the new. Today I needed a spot of color (not white, thankyouverymuch). How about you?

Colias philodice, Lively Clouded Sulphur atop a purple wild aster

I have no clue what it is but it sure is purty.
(thanks to Nancy, I now know this is Mallow ~ hot diggity dawg & thanks).

absolutely beautiful!! each and every ONE of those photos. I'm thinking that the one you're not sure what it is, perhaps it's a geranium? The blossom sure looks like a geranium to me.

Again, beautiful photos.

Thanks for visiting. Wishing you the best in 2012

Was reading your profile. Did I tell you to Kill a mocking bird was on of my love too? Studied as a text when I was 15, and I still don't know who the mocking bird is. Perhaps I should read it again.

I also share the child cancer awareness too. A toddler just died.

Thanks for hydrangea comment.
