For Cee’s FOTD Challenge, a crepe myrtle attuned to the sun’s warmth: pink blooms balance on gladdening green to sing of summers gone, now here again.

Honey Bee Magnet
For Cee’s FOTD challenge, a perfect buzz of relish in a white crepe myrtle with mustard gold highlights that fool the unwary into mistaking a hive of activity for merely eye-catching blooms. Can you spot the busy bee?
Disco Bell Pink
For Joseph’s 2020 Home Photo Challenge, on our walk the other day we passed these hibiscus twins in “disco bell pink,” obviously loving the head-turning attention they receive. Shameless beauties!
Flowers are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities in the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A Lily of the Field
For Cee’s FOTD challenge, a lily in mid-life but devoid of crisis, neither toiling nor spinning, content to be clothed according to her Creator’s grand design, joyously alive.
Blooming Where It’s Planted
For Cee’s FOTD challenge today, tucked away in a hidden corner of the garden as if forgotten, a profusion of sunlit orange, blooming where it’s been planted, a salutary blessing for the eye that sees.
Senorita by Sunlight
For Cee’s FOTD challenge, a sudden recognition of crimson, a swirl of fantasy in the moonlight becoming the mature, full-blossomed allure of a diva, unruffled by the sun’s heat, a garden show-stopper: the blood-red crepe myrtle.
Sunday Morning Bouquet
For Cee’s FOTD challenge, this cherry blossom’s eternal beauty, because when God gives you a bouquet, it reaches to the sky, and speaks of things that money can’t buy, deceivers can’t hide, and death can’t snuff out.
Matthew 6:19-21, 25-30, 33-34 (ESV)
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal,
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. …
A Skedaddling Bunny
For Joseph’s 2020 Home Photo Challenge, a bunny we encountered on our quotidian walk.
Startled, it skeddadled away spliketty-splik — but not before it spoke of clover contentment and rapid reflexes, God-given.
Saturday’s Roses
For Cee’s July 25th FOTD challenge, a mystery of loveliness, yellow sunshine from above caught in a buttery flush below.
Lone Straggler
For Joseph’s 2020 Home Photo Challenge, a straggler from a stand of stonecrop, pruned but thriving under the gardener’s merciful eye, a reminder that circumstances don’t dictate our destiny.
