Morning Blossoms

Posted on May 12, 2013 by Tim May

This morning – Mother’s Day – my day lilies bloomed. They hadn’t done that in a few years…

2013 marks 15 years without getting to call her on this day or any other day for that matter...

2013 marks 15 years without me getting to call her on this day, or any other day for that matter…

It is satisfying to know she still has a way of saying "hello" even after all these years.

Moms do love flowers. My mom was no exception. I take comfort knowing she still has a way of saying “hello” even after all these years.

Call your mom, give her hug, plant a perennial flower so she can always make you smile.

I’m all for everyone having a Spring-blooming, perennial flower planted somewhere in the yard…just for Mom. It is a happy Mother’s Day today.

The Cherry Salvia is in bloom in Coppell

The 'Hot Lips' Saliva is in bloom down the street at my subdivision entry median

What a minute...this isn't Salvia

Neither is this curly Q, serpentine, wiggly sidewalk, but you can get just as drunk walking this pathway as you can enjoying the brilliance of Salvia in bloom down the street....

Wish I knew my butterflies...they sure can be purdy

Winecups are always hard for me to photograph....

Still looking for my Texas Wildflowers ID books...can I get a little help here?.

A weathered old Bois d'Arc fence post...and a much newer post hold up a rusty 5-strand barbed wire fence

The 88˚ and Sun(day) Daily Cap(s) (92)

88˚ and Sun(day)...and pushing the limits of your boundaries

88˚ and Sun(day)...and Indian Paintbrush responding....

88˚ and Sun(day)...and big boats and catching a few rays where you can

88˚ and Sun(day)...and half nakedness on boats partying on the lake (and for a reason that only beer and sunshine could probably explain, the one guy in the red cap has a toy gun holstered to his leg)

88˚ and Sun(day)...and that probably has little to do with this Superman casting technique

88˚ and Sun(day)...and my backyard Sour Cherry Tree in bloom

88˚and Sun(day)...one week from Easter, and the Royal Scotties are still fashionably wearing black

The Botanical Daily Cap(s) (86)

From an evening stroll at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens: a sugar maple fruit

By any other name....

Saw few birds, but plenty of bees

A favorite tree of mine in bloom (Texas Buckeye)...does it look like a bunny sticking its tongue out to any one else?

A little bit of old, a little bit of new....

Reaching for the last of the day's sunlight...

The Springing Daily Cap(s) (81)

An early spring, an early rose

Here come the perennials and wildflowers (Black-eyed Susan with arthritic looking petals)

Taking a guess that this is a lovely Prairie Coneflower counts as knowing, right?

Crimson and clover...over and over

Check out the fuzzy Bluebonnets behind these...these...Black-eyed Susans

Last year's Buckeye fruit shell...with this year's blossom way in the back

This year's Buckeye fruit is forming...

What would a Daily Cap picture set be without a bird picture...a one-leg-longer-than-the-other bird picture (this Mockingbird stands all crooked in a Chinkapin Oak that's just about done flowering)
