Yard Flowers

My sister and I don’t have to go far to find these lovelies.

In my case I don’t have much flowers in my yard and much of what I have are herbs, fruit trees and veggies. So for the few flowers I have, I treat them like gems because though they’re not that many, their bright colors never fail to catch my gaze. A big plus – this week, while I walked out at our garden, I saw dragonflies! I haven’t seen any since we volunteered to do treeplanting at Caliraya, Laguna in 2017. Whenever I see dragonflies my mind would be transported back to my childhood days when my brother and I would try to catch them gently and set them free afterwards.

In the land down under, my sister takes pride in the flowers in their yard. Most of them are purple because this stands out to bees and butterflies so she wanted to invite them over as much as she can.

    Beautiful photos. When I was little, I was very afraid of dragonflies. So silly. They’re such sweet creatures.

      Really? They are so gentle! Though I admit until now I don’t know what they do 😳

        I don’t what they do either. But when I was little I was sure they would land on me and bite me. Fortunately, I got over that.

    Beauty is all around us but many people do not have the eyes to see. You are blessed to enjoy the beauty of flowers near your abode.
