Todays Nature photos...

Yes it's Weds. again and here are a few nature shots...

I'll admit I cheated and took these yesterday and I am glad I did. The wind today is terrible and not a good day for taking photos outside! Maybe this evening if the wind dies down a bit I might try for some more photos.

Sow Thistle

Sow Thistle is an introduced species from Europe that has become a troublesome "weed". I read that in the book and laughed aren't all wildflowers troublesome weeds to some people? Fred and I are constantly discussing the fact that he needs to stop pulling up my wildflowers and he repeatedly tells me they are "WEEDS"!! Some of us just don't see the beauty in nature!

This isn't a wildflower but a variegated Bougainvillea that I bought last year. It is just starting to bud out and I love the patterns on the leaves.

That's it for now folks...I know Wow not to many today. It was raining yesterday when I took these photos so I didn't do to much walking. I did see some bluebonnets yesterday evening in a yard on the way to town but I'll wait for them to come up around here, as I don't want to get in trouble for trespassing!...Spring is in the air!
