Crepe Myrtle and Wind Chime

The top photo is of a crepe myrtle in our back yard that has finally bloomed. For some reason, ours is just now coming into all it's glory while most others around here have passed their main burst of blooms. Pretty though. Lovely Wife took this photo.

The second photo is of a clear blue plastic butterfly with wire wings and bells for feet. He makes the most pleasant tones in breezes strong enough to make the bells in his feet ring. It's hanging in Lovely Wife's crepe myrtle pictured above.

The smaller plant in the lower left of the photo with the pink blossoms is an ixora.

Heron And Pink Flamingo

The first photo was taken in Melbourne Beach, Florida, near Rykman Park on the Indian River Lagoon. This great blue heron was stalking things through the shallow water the whole time Lovely Wife were here watching the sunset. They are interesting to watch. Birds are such serious acting animals, especially the hunters like these, pelicans, etc.

The second photo is another bird, a fake, a pink flamingo at the top of another one of Lovely Wife's wind chimes. This is the only pink flamingo we have, we don't own any of those that people put in their front yards. This one is pretty nifty on breezy days too.

Out Back

The first photo is of a bumble bee, wind-blown, whirlygig thingy That Lovely Wife has in on of her flower pots. I like the little bird in there too. I liked the way the colors came out in this photo.

The second photo is one of Lovely Wife's wind chimes. I liked the reflection in the dull metal, and the spider web there.

Have a great Sunday, and don't forget check out my other blog, I always post photos on Sundays.
