I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

This is a native wildflower from Tennessee. It is a Celedine Poppy. The flowers are the size of a half dollar and they spread quickly. A wonderful plant. There is a tiny spider on the bloom too!!
Despite the parachute structure of the individual Dandelion seeds being largely made up of empty space, it is believed their design creates a ring-shaped air bubble ("separated vortex ring") which slows their descent to the ground and allows them to spread further afield (and into my garden as an unfortunate consequence). It is thought their design is up to four times more efficient that a conventional parachute.

Reflections dance on the lake
Reflections, love they do make
To the blue, that does spread
As all eyes, they are fed
By the beauty floating by
On the lake and in the sky
Rising up to the spreading sky
Home to the birds that do fly
Under its branches, lovers stand
Lips on lips, hand in hand
Resting against the now bare tree
Their is love exposed for all to see
Lips on lips, passion found
On the green Winter ground
Home to nature, as birds they fly
Spreading sweet love across the sky
After we photographed the Burrowing Owl the other day, we turned to put our gear in the car. A Turkey Vulture was flying in towards us and then landed in the middle of the road...right in front of the owl. It looked at us and slowly walked towards the owl's burrow. What the heck?! It approached the owl slowly and walked behind the burrow.
We were just in awe of watching this interaction. The owl didn't appear to be stressed, it seemed to just watch the vulture approach. I wondered if the vulture was looking for remnants of the owl's previous meal. I somehow just got the feeling this wasn't the first time for this behavior. It was so incredible to watch. The vulture finally spread its wings and flew over the fence and landed just on the other side. WOW. Nature is just so grand!!

Geranium sanguine keeps popping up in our perennial flower garden, but I really don't mind. The beauty of each flower is well worth its ability to spread itself into every nook and cranny of available space.
Spread the news, join us..lets paint Flickr red this Sunday!! Feel free to download this image and use it for the protest.

"Myosotis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae. The name comes from the Ancient Greek μυοσωτίς "mouse's ear", which the foliage is thought to resemble. In the northern hemisphere they are colloquially known as forget-me-nots or scorpion grasses."...Wikipedia
My forget-me-not flowers spread their beauty every year, taking up more space in my garden. Here's to the return of those perennial flower friends.
