Yesterday I took a little stroll on the Clackamas Community College campus after spending time in a class and then with a dear friend (enjoyed the time, Beth M.!). I had noticed some lovely trees in bloom, covered in large white blossoms (my lack of horticultural knowledge keeps me from naming them), so I just had to snap a few photographs.They are so lovely!
For some reason they made me think of white butterflies...
In the area behind DuJardin building is a little forested section where I discovered this lovely little sprite of a flower. I found it unique how the end of each petal had a twist, and then I noticed that the stamen in the center had 3 little twists on the end. They all twist in the same direction! How cool is that! The golden center was like a miniature sunburst. Pretty!!
In my travels I came across glowing daffodils and tulips greeting me. You can't help but smile when you see these flowers.
I also discovered a colorful and textural floral plant. Look at the hair on these little guys. I love the polka dotted leaves.
This plant has such sculptural edges to each leaf, and I loved seeing the water drop inside, like it was wearing a diamond. As I wrapped up my stroll and decided I should head on home, I glanced up into the sky and saw this--
Now doesn't that look like a heart? It sure did to me, and I felt like God was saying
I LOVE YOU!
That first tree with the white blooms is a dogwood. Lovely photos, Rose!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome nature walk through pictures. Yes, I'd say that cloud looks like a heart just for you!
ReplyDeleteGod gave you a valentine! What a delightful walk, and what great photos! Thanks for sharing. You are GOOD with that camera.
ReplyDeleteRose, I always enjoy your blogs, and I agree that it is award-winning. It would be great if you taught a blog-making or computer art class, with your amazing talents for catching the beauty in each picture, along with your ability as a writer. It sounds as you had a great Mother's Day! We got to watch Liam all day, and he really tired us out. Of course, he tired himself out after 6 hrs., too, falling asleep standing up next to the couch.
