emerging: attaining the apex

austere earth awakes

wee roots probe for sustenance

arise verdant stalk!

awake O flower

spread your glorious petals 

revel in sunlight

Alphabe-Thursday, hosted by Ms Jenny, is so much fun!  This week we begin the alphabet once more--with the letter  "A" of course! Come visit others' submissions HERE and join in the fun!  


Thank you, Ms Jenny, for hostessing another round!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

COOLER COLORS
Someone is hanging out on this Beth's Blue star flower (isotoma axillaris).


 LEAVES

New plantlets are forming along the edges of the leaves of this kalanchoe plant.


ICED BEVERAGE

mint tea made from chocolate mint that grows in my garden.  The liquid is a very pale green.  YUM!


COOLING OFF

Bunkie sits in the screened doorway of the cabin catching some cool breezes (and wonderful scents, too, no doubt!).


RAW

a little bit of produce from my deck garden

This is a very fun meme hostessed by Ashley Sisk in which 5 prompts are given and one must then take a photo to illustrate each one.  Come see how others have interpreted these words HERE! 
 
Next week's words are:  

1. Body Part (pick any of them, but let’s keep it family friendly)
2. Wednesday (take a photo on Wednesday – easy enough)
3. Music
4. Guess What It Is (photograph anything and make us guess what it is)
5. Mirror Image
