Grow Where You're Planted

I love that little saying, "Grow where you're planted." Since it's springtime and there are lots of beautiful things growing everywhere, I thought it would be fun to share some photos I captured today while walking around our property.


Astilbes


Spring-beauties


Trillium


Wild blue violet


The flower we all love to hate, the dandelion

Japanese Peony Tree bud (see profile pic)

Snowball Viburnum buds

Bleeding Heart

Epimedium


Ferns

Climbing Hydrangeas

Azaleas


Serviceberry tree blossoms


Flowering myrtle

Daffodil, home for a little spider

I love different varieties of butterfly bushes, roses, hostas, daylillies, as well as my all-time favorite, the peony...in every size, shape and color. Hence, the blog header! To bury one's nose inside these huge blossoms, well, is a tiny piece of Heaven.

Enjoy the beauty of God's magnificent creation!

  2. That's too funny. I told Rachel, "Just think what I could do with a good camera!" It's all about perspective, isn't it.

    You did, Mr. YKW aka Mr. Wonderful. And I thank you.
