Time for a new challenge. I love to take pictures of flowers and since I know not all plants have flowers on them as of yet the idea came to me that if no flowers were you live as yet you can show plants that will flower. If they have buds on them better yet. I hope to get to some of me picture before the challenge is done with some plants that just have buds on them.
Found these along a wlkway at Rainbow springs State Park
Some flowers in front of a man made water falls at Rainbow Springs park
Another find at Rainbow Springs park
Cme across these in front of a inn at Sumpter landing when we took youngest daughter there to met a bus.
Spring time in the desert.
