Amaryllis 2011


This amaryllis came up in our yard this spring. I didn't plant it - a previous owner of our home must have. I posted this photo and said it was an iris, but a reader from Canada corrected me. Anyway, it's beautiful, isn't it?

Mulberry Tree

This tree is growing in our back yard and I never could figure out what it was. I nearly cut it down, but I'm glad I didn't. It's a Mulberry Tree, and the fruit is delicious. It tastes a lot like blackberries, but more tangy. Wow! What a nice surprise this morning.

Brushy Creek Arbor Revival 2011

Jodi and I went out to Brushy Creek tonight. It's so nostalgic. Hand-hewn beams. Weather was perfect. Preacher was a guy from First Methodist in Houston. My friend Perry Eaton led the singing. He did about a dozen old-fashioned gospel hymns and did a great job.

Azaleas with Butterfly

This large eastern tiger swallowtail butterfly was fluttering about our azalea bush when I got home from work today.

Dogwoods 2011


I climbed up on a step-ladder to get this shot. Then I waited for the sun to come out from behind a cloud. I used the "macro" setting on the camera since it's so close. This tree is in our back yard. This is a large file if you want to download it for your desktop.
