Photo for the week. Comments welcome.

Sunday, 05/12/2024: Posted photo — Mother’s Day.

Happy Mother’s Day! These are photos of when my youngest brother was brought home will all my brothers looking at him and one of my mother’s 95 year old hands showing her newly cleaned mother’s ring. It has been a couple of years since she left us, and I still miss her. Happy Mother’s Day mom.

Monday, 05/13/2024: Posted photo — Scenes from the Trail.

Some items seen on the trail tonight. I took the group on a different route tonight. This is from what I call the back side of the mountain. It is a trail that is not used by may since you need to take back roads and a partial dirt road to get to the trailhead.

These are photos of some of the group, some Hobblebush, and an old trail marker.

Tuesday, 05/14/2024: Posted photo — Lilac.

Lilac flowers may be single or double, the leaves solid green or variegated, and the plants dwarf or standard. Lilac flower colors may be white, violet, pink, blue, and lilac (of course) to red-purple, dark purple, and even a yellow variety known as “Primrose.”

This lilac bush is in our yard and was transplanted a few years ago from a friend’s yard. It has survived many heavy snowstorms.

Rays of sunshine coming through the clouds. Almost thought it was rain, but the rays are spread out further than raindrops would be.

Thursday, 05/16/2024: Posted photo — Azalea.

Azaleas are flowering shrubs in the Rhododendron genus that bloom in the spring and can tolerate shade. This is our red azalea bush. We also have a pink azalea bush that will bloom after this one.

It is interesting that azaleas and rhododendrons of different colors bloom at different times.

Pansies. Can you see all the pansy faces looking at you?

Saturday, 05/18/2024: Post photo — Blueberries.

Some high bush blueberries growing at the lake. Looks like it will be a good year for them. The bush is very full.

That is all for now. Until next week, be safe.
