Purple Petals

In the heat of the summer, it is hard to get motivated to do anything after I get home from the day job. Becoming one with the couch is about all I can muster the energy for. But I managed to shoot some flowers that I have in a basket on my front porch that were speaking to me the other day as I was watering them. “We won’t last forever” they said. “Soon we’ll only be a memory”. They were right, so I got out my camera and macro lens and these are my favorite shots of my purple porch petals. Enjoy.

Crape Myrtle Dreams

We have four crepe myrtle trees that came with the house when we bought it. The heat right now is miserable in Dallas, but the crape myrtles bask in the sun and emit hot hot pink rays of joy right to your face. Yes it’s hot, they seem to say, but look how pretty I am. How can I argue that?

Backyard Sunflowers

My first sunflower plants. I never tried to grow them before. I don’t know why, I guess I just didn’t think about it. But now, thanks to my co-worker Claudia, I have blooming plants in my yard. I can’t wait for them to to multiply and turn my whole backyard yellow. The dogs will just have to get used to sharing the yard. Clicking on the photos will take you to my Flickr set of  more sunflower images. Enjoy.

It’s Market Saturday

white rock local market logoIf you live in Dallas, or are lucky enough to be here this Saturday, August 14, come by the White Rock Local Market and sweat with me. I know it’s gonna be like 200 degrees out, but that’s not gonna stop me from selling my critter creations along with other vendors of handmade and cool items like vintage bikes. While the main attraction will be the local produce and other delectable food stuff, the handmade selections are very fine indeed.

The market is from 8am to 1pm. Located by White Rock Lake, click the picture to get the specifics. Hope to see you there. Come by and say hi!

Chaste (Vitex) Tree

Right next to my pomegranate bush I have a Chaste/Vitex tree that blooms around the same time as the pom. I just wish my two hot pink crepe myrtles would bloom then too, what a colorful yard I’d have, hot orange pom blooms, deep purple Chaste/Vitex flowers and bright pink myrtles. But the orange and purple blooms  do a good job of keeping the yard from being  just too green. According to some sources online, like this one, the Chaste/Vitex tree has medicinal and spice uses as well as adding color to the yard. I haven’t tried any of the medicinal uses yet, but a pepper smell is evident when near the leaves and berries and I may give the spice aspect a try.

Pomegranates

My pomegranate bush has lots of baby poms on it. I ‘m keeping my fingers crossed that they make it to full size, edible fruit.

Blooming

It’s definitely spring here in North Texas. Storms one day, hot and humid the next. Which means things are really starting to bloom in my yard. I still want more color and more blooms but I don’t want to take care of more. I have little time as it is. One day I’ll just rip out the ugly bushes and ground cover and plant some color. Until then, I’ll just have to be happy with the flowering trees and plants I have. Click on the photo and you’ll be taken to Flickr where I have lots of photos of plants, critters, and my creations. Enjoy.
