You can find beauty all around you, even in the weeds in your yard.
Texas
Birds
I thought about calling this post “Da Birds” but decided to just title it as you see.
I grew up being told that birds fly south for the winter. I grew up in West Central Illinois. For some reasons I always thought of Florida never Texas. As you can see they do come here to the Lone Star state.
This was at the end of the day. And doesn’t even begin to show all of the feathered creatures. Of course I had to get one with them in flight.
Okay, I have to do it. “Da birds, da birds. 🐦☺️

Wake Up Call
This is your wake up call. Time to get going. Enjoy your day.
The Blush On A Rose.
Woke up to the rose bush outside my bedroom full of these beautiful pink roses. I am always cheered by them. Fun part of living in Texas is that they bloom year round.
Life Among The Weeds.
A red rose blossoms in a flower bed that holds only dead plants from the previous year. It proves life will find a way because this rose happens to be wild.
I noticed it fighting to break the soil last summer and thought it would not survive the winter. It just had to prove me wrong. Our roses are in another flower bed and not a red one in the bunch. Still trying to figure out where the red one came from.
Hello March

Here Comes The Sun.
Caught another beautiful sunrise on Thursday morning. There is just something for a Texas sunrise.
Rise & Shine

Rise and shine! Time to greet the new day. The sun is just peeking over the horizon to warm this winter day.
Glorious Morning
How can the day go wrong when you wake up to this glorious sunrise? Texas sure does wake up beautiful. How did your morning begin?
Here Comes the Sun?

Ever since the news started reporting that tropical storm Harvey was headed towards Texas, the state started preparing for the worst. Here in my neck of the woods, we were told to just expected rains with some flash flooding.
As the storm turned first from a category one up until it’s final destination as a category four hurricane, we watched people prepare and in some cases evacuate their homes. This photo was taken Saturday night as the sun was setting. The clouds were moving fast, and the sun ended up playing hide and seek among them until it finally set.
The worst is over but we are still not out of danger. Now the rains are adding to the already flooded areas making everything worse. If you can help in any way contact:
