We had a rainy walk recently, and the conditions were perfect for taking pictures of the flowering plants and bushes we encountered.












I am currently camping with Retirement Reflections and will have little to no internet/cell service, so pardon me for being tardy in responding to your always lovely comments! I will, as soon as I am able.
Have a great Sunday!

Hi Deb – yes the broom came in via Hawaii, I gather, on one of the exploration routes when the western side of America was being opened up … particularly Vancouver and Victoria – I love it … but it’s native here! So many invasive plants brought in via explorers and plant lovers of the past – lots here too. Just enjoy that peace away … camping in the great outdoors – hope the sun doth shine! Cheers Hilary
Love the thimbleberry!
I’m always interested in your native blooms, so different from ours. I can see how invasive the broom is, but the orange and yellow variety is quite stunning.
As is Sir Bowser of course…

I love scotch broom. I planted 3 shrubs in my last yard. They didn’t last long, maybe 5 years before they died out. You must have the perfect climate for them.
Our local tv weather guy would join me in loving today’s Bowser closeup! 💕 Everyday he shows viewer submitted pet photos and his favorites are dogs with their noses close enough to the camera that he can “boop” them on the nose. Not sure why he started his weird little tradition, but we look forward to the cute dogs and Steve’s daily boop. 😂😂 Hope you’re enjoying your camping trip!🌞
