Beloved Purple World

My Purple World
Imagine for a moment, would you, when you take a step outside and walk right into an unbelievable and magical world of purple sky. Even if you don't like the color purple, which I do, I love, ask yourself how many times you see such a display of purple (lavender) color in the sky?

Beautiful Hot-Cake Flowers

After my son re-do the front porch and put down grass seed, he wanted to plant flowers! Oh yes, another strange phenomenon thing going on! I'm on the other hand, not very enthusiastic about it as I've planted flowers in this spot before and they all died. Some are suffocating and flimsy, such as my dianthus.

However, when I see the Hot Cakes Mix Stock; I went for them because they were different looking and this was the first time I saw them.

The Hot Cakes Mix Stocks came in three colors: white, purple and pink. They need full sun and well drained soil with two varieties. I am a sick individual knowing quite well that this area neither receives full sun or has well drained soil. I figure I will just take a chance on them :-), after all I only spent roughly three dollars for them.

The Web Of Life

In the Fog
My early morning ritual is a walk around my backyard, and since the weather is going into fall, some time there is fog. I notice this spider web when a bit of sun ray shining through, and it was amazing to see.

Black Eyed Susan

The black eyed Susan were growing out of control this year in my garden. I know that they are perennial flowers, but I didn't know that they spread like weed.

Pink Balls Of Flowers

You must know these are spring flowers, and I it took me a while to finally locate them in my archives. Many things are just pushing back or in the corner while life is going on. I saw this on a property next to my church.

Around the Bend

This is the canal leading out to Lake Saint Clair at Metro Park. I like strolling along the shore watching the boats coming in and going out. It is a clear view to the lake, and it is quite relaxing watching people enjoying their life.

Dark Color Sunflowers

Sunflowers have to be the symbol of summer, at least to me! They are easy to grow from seeds, and I like these combination of colors! The common color used to be yellow, but you can find a variety of different colors nowadays.

Looked Like Candle Tree Flowers

I do not know what kind of tree this was, but the flowers from afar looked like candles. They grew straight upward and had the shape of triangle. Again, I saw this tree on the University Campus ground.

Imagine my surprise when I finally realized that in the back of my brother's yard, there was a lilac tree! Duh, where have I been? He has lived there forever! But see now, being a blogger aiming with a camera, I have discovered many things that I haven't before, and it is such a big plus. So, forgive me while I was sleeping :-)
