Texas Beauty

Vedavati had to go back to the United States to get a new visa.

Sunrise at Galveston Beach where I’ve gone to all my life, until I left Texas. It was fabulous to go back there.

These Oleanders almost made me feel I was back in Amritapuri. Galveston is full of them too

Washington Rhododendron

A friend sent me a picture of a rhododendron bush in her yard. It is a wonderful view from the main bedroom. There are three colors of rhododendron bushes in front of my Seattle house but I’ve never seen any this color before.

As the blooms age, they change color.

A few days later, she also saw a bunny in the yard. (She took the photo through a window screen.)

Amritapuri, India Flowers #6

Vedavati said: i cannot help but adore these flowers. L.O.V.E that they pop open white and shrivel up “maroon”. Mother Nature is such a marvel.

Amritapuri, India Flowers #5

Amritapuri, India Flowers #3

Vedavati sent more photos taken with her new phone. I decided to post the flowers first. I think the colors are so vivid

She wrote: After a pre dawn rain. Love the colors and all the various stages of flowering and fruiting.

Amritapuri, India Flowers #2

Vedavati bought a new phone. That means she also has a new phone camera! She said: I am loving the new camera. Not so sure about loving the different style of spell wrecker.

This rose was just a little smaller than this.

Amritapuri, India Flowers #1

Vedavati has been sending me flower photos from Amritapuri. The last one she sent, she mentioned wishing that she could crop the photo so the flower filled the page. I figured it out although I’m not sure I could repeat it. Enjoy.

Beauty in My Backyard-Spring 2020

Since I’m not working in the Greenbelt, I (hopefully) will be able to focus on my own yard again. I say hopefully because I’m not able to get up and down well at this point. Regardless of what the future holds, there is plenty of beauty there already.
