Day Twenty-Five: A flowery feeling

I am feeling quite excited today. The excitement and anticipation of my upcoming mini-vacation is bubbling over! I have been slacking on the photo taking front lately, because I have been super busy at work and when I get home i really just want to relax! I am feeling quite vibrant today though, so here are some flowers that I have been seeing around town.


 I love the translucent petals on this one! 
 This is a broom plant. I was excited to catch this bee in action, although the clarity is not great since it is a cellphone pic!

 I think lilacs are my third favorite flower behind beach roses and pink lilies. They are only around for such a short time but they smell fabulous! My grandmother always holds out to pick hers, hoping they will hold out until Memorial day but they rarely do. We have always lived in houses that were surrounded by huge purple bushes. I miss them now that I live in an apartment complex.
 They are planting flowers today at my work! Maybe that's why I am in a flowery mood...



 This is the tree in front of my house. Isn't it pretty?

I love spring! The color and brilliance of everything coming back to life against a backdrop of winter's decay. Summer is just about here now and everything is really colorful and with the summer comes green leaves and most of the flowers die off in the heat, but I enjoy the colors while they last!

See you Friday!
