The Gift of Flowers

I just wanted to share, with all of my guests,

 the beautiful flowers that came from a dear friend's garden.

Mary V. is a great gardener, cook, friend that will listen to you, and

 one who will always be there if you need her.

These flowers came from her garden in Beaumont, Texas.

 I placed them on the side board in my dining room to share with all of you!

Sending you hugs Mary V.

Things to Remember when Photographing Texas Bluebonnets

Bluebonnets of Central Texas 2012

The bluebonnets are starting to show up and will continue to fill the pastures.

Just a reminder when photographing these beauties of nature.

 In the fields of bluebonnets there are:

1.  red bugs also known as chiggers

2.  Texas fire ants

3.  Texas snakes

So use your zoom on your camera and that will allow you not to have to step in the flowers!

Also never go onto a property that has been posted!

Remember you are in TEXAS!
