When I passed the young redbud yesterday, the one that lives a short walk from my driveway and introduced me to the snail, I noticed that all its blooms were gone. It was sprouting those beautiful little heart shaped leaves that become voluminous as the tree matures. So I paid it another visit. And then I wandered. 
Quaker LadiesI found more Quaker ladies sprouting among the mosses and a few more woodland flowers I had not yet seen. And I paid a visit to the wisteria hanging among the oak tree boughs. Unfortunately, this is not the native variety. Also visiting were a kettle of bees. I attracted some unpleasant stares, but happily, they were more interested in chasing each other than me.
I have never seen Quaker ladies before, nor the redbud! I learn so much drifting by here :-)
ReplyDeleteHi. So glad you came by. I enjoyed visiting your blogs as well--musings, art and cooking--all three gave me something new to take away. Kangaroo and lots of mint, I'm intriqued..;-) --A richer look into your part of the world.
ReplyDeleteVickie, your photography, as always is beautiful. You are so lucky to have such rich woodlands. Our bush is harsher & drier, we dont have the variety you have (unless one lives in Western Australia) I love seeing your world through your eyes...ta
ReplyDeleteThank you. Your feedback is heartening. I love what I do and it gives me great satisfaction to know it touches others as well.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, we do have a rich diversity of flora and fauna here in east Tennessee.
By the way, I've always wanted to visit Australia. One day...:-)
