Taking a short break.  Be back as soon as I can.

Delicate Purple Bush of flowers

I walked past this flowring bush many times and finally stopped to take a photo with a brief break in the rain. . .

The wind almost blew my closeup out of the closeup I was trying to take!

Blue wonder!

The flowering plant is a beauty from a distance . . .      

but close up, it is marvelous sight!

Purple Beauty . . .

Love this flower each time I walk by it.  Caught it finally on a windy day so not centered!

Cone flower

This one was growing at the corner of a building downtown.  I like the contrast between the two. . .

Bought this plant at Farmers Market last week . . .

I can't remember what the guy called it.  He said it is not a cactus but has similarities.  The pinkish/purple "flower"will fade away and a new one take its place. . .

How I would love to have this train planter!!!!!!!

Saw this at the Farmers Market in town this past week. . . IF I had a place to put it,

I would buy it!
