A few months ago on a quick trip to Abilene, Texas, we stopped at a roadside park as nature called. The park was landscaped nicely so, while waiting, I grabbed my camera.
I am not sure what variety of flower this is but the sun shining through the petals made a nice shot.

It seems like I tend to take a lot of pictures of flowers. This is no exception. As I was sitting on the back porch one Saturday afternoon, the sun was shining through the back of this Hibiscus flower.
It may make it to a printed photo one of these days!
Most days I take a walk around the neighborhood and most days I carry some type of camera, be it phone or DSLR.
This little flower caught my eye and of course my camera!

I took this picture a few weeks ago of a Peace Lily on our back porch. I’m trying my hand at selective soft focus. Abstract if you will.

Since Zebadiah and Adriana finally met each other, they are almost inseparable. When you see one, the other is not far away.
They have taken many long walks, rubber wing in rubber wing. Waddling across the walkway, they stop to see the yellow wildflowers in the open lots behind the park. Adriana and Zeb are partial to the yellow flowers since many of their friends and relatives in the rubber duck heritage are yellow.
Adriana and Zeb are both glad they share many of the same interests like Family, Friends, Cycling, Antiquing, Traveling, and Food.
We never know what lies ahead in life. Live good, laugh, be kind, go to church, are all things that their mother’s used to say.

Zebadiah saw the pink duck during the Easter Egg hunt Sunday afternoon. Today saw her again and wants to talk to her if he can muster up the nerve. Zeb knows there are more ducks around, but she caught his eye earlier in his life and has been trying to find her ever since.
Her name is Adriana. Zeb finally got up his nerve to talk to her and they hit it off. She was elated as well, because she likes him too! Today they walked around the park behind the house. Zebadiah wanted to show her the wildflowers, clover and the creek. They were not ready to take a dip in the cool water yet, but maybe next time.
Zeb feels like it was meant to be. Adriana is happy she found Zeb too! Everyone has a soulmate. Sometimes they are hard to find.

On the road trip to Canyon Lake over the weekend, Zebadiah saw many pretty wildflowers along the road. Once we got to Canyon Lake he had to venture out to see them.
The Bluebonnets were already turning to seed and the mowers had cut some of them down, but the yellow wildflowers were everywhere making a very pretty drive. Wild Verbena was growing adding some purple hues along the way.
Zeb is partial to the yellow flowers because most of his relatives are yellow.
30-30-1 Project Day 15
Today Zebadiah got to take a little road trip to Richardson. It’s is a little road trip because you can’t tell where Plano ends and Richardson begins. Nonetheless it is a few miles from our house.
Zebadiah, being a native Texan, wanted to see some Bluebonnets. This little road trip will have to suffice for now. There is a pasture that is filled with wildflowers, and the National Flower of Texas is the main attraction.
There are people all around taking pictures so you can imagine how Zeb feels. He’s is still kind of shy around other people.
30-30-1 Project Day 14
Zebadiah likes flowers and always takes time to stop and smell. He says they are “smiles from heaven”. The yellow flowers remind him of some of his little yellow relatives that he misses and hopes to see someday.
Zeb would like to see the fields of bluebonnets, but will have to wait till the weather is better. Maybe next weekend when he takes his first trip to the Texas Hill Country.
Mum’s the word
