Good Morning Glory!

During my walk this morning, I came across some Morning Glory intertwined with stalks of corn.  They were so beautiful that I just had to share. ENJOY!

Teddy Bear Cholla

This photo was taken in the Arizona Desert on Route 66 near Oatman, Arizona. I located a picture of this same plant on a website regarding desert life. Near as I can tell, this cactus is classified as Cylindropuntia bigelovii, but more affectionately called “Teddy Bear Cholla.”

Pussy paws

Because it was early spring when we embarked upon our hike, mountain wildflowers were in abundance. Light pink pussy paws, resembling little fluffy cotton balls, sprouted from the rocky ground. Tiny, bright yellow wildflowers, attached to long green stems, turned their petals towards the warm sun. Hot pink, trumpet-shaped skyrockets sprung out from little bushes, which found places to grow inside the cleft of nearby rocks.

Hot pink skyrockets

The most common flower on our hike was the Douglas phlox. These white, delicate blossoms, with their intense green, bush-like stems, grew in bunches and hugged the ground all along the trail.

This week, Paths to Adventure and Praise will be featuring pictures of flowers photographed by Shelby Kunkel. She is a young friend of mine who took these pictures from a neighboring flower garden. They were so beautiful that I asked her if I could post them on this blog. Thank you, Shelby, for graciously accepting my request!

The praise verses to match the floral snap shots will be taken from Psalm 33:1-5.

I hope that everyone enjoys these pictures as much as I have.
