As I walked back from the Post Office a short while ago I spotted this clump of fungi. An unusual sight in Spring!
This simple and small flower has an amazing parfume.

We always get a "Spring" tease around this time of year...today was no exception. No coats, sun, green grass and bulbs pushing their way up through cold ground! The sun feels so good on the skin and for the soul! But once it goes down, it's chilly again, but while it's out, we enjoy it's gentle kiss and a promise of more to come~
I wouldn't be a good "Texan" if I didn't post an image of our state flower..:)
Bluebonnets have been loved since man first trod the vast prairies of Texas. Indians wove fascinating folk tales around them. The early-day Spanish priests gathered the seeds and grew them around their missions. This practice gave rise to the myth that the padres had brought the plant from Spain, but this cannot be true since the two predominant species of bluebonnets are found growing naturally only in Texas and at no other location in the world.
As historian Jack Maguire so aptly wrote, "It's not only the state flower but also a kind of floral trademark almost as well known to outsiders as cowboy boots and the Stetson hat." He goes on to affirm that "The bluebonnet is to Texas what the shamrock is to Ireland, the cherry blossom to Japan, the lily to France, the rose to England and the tulip to Holland."

Squill (Scilla siberica) is a spring ephemeral, emerging early and blooming right after the snow melts. It is a hardy plant and cold tolerant, and it has historically been a favorite of gardeners for its striking blue flowers. Unfortunately, squill naturalizes quite easily, spreading quickly by self-seeding and bulb offshoots. Because of its rapid spread and condition tolerance, this non-native species has the potential to become an invasive plant.
On April 30th, the UK media predicted the driest May on record and warned we may have a spring drout.... Today, the UK media began talking of the coldest May on record :(

So finally Spring came during the last weekend but iy only lasted the time to take few shots. We are going to have a rainy week, but this is great for me, since I have to study for my Construction exam, until friday (and I must say that this preparation is really freaking me out!).
Thank you for commenting and visiting! I'm going to find some spare time to visit your wonderful streams during this week!
Mammoth Hot Spring is a large complex of hot springs on a hill of travertine in Yellowtone National Park. It was created over thousands of years as hot water from the spring cooled and deposited calcium cabonate. Travertine flourishes because of the huge amount of geothermal vents.
