I spotted a bit of blue among the watermelon leaves and found this bright blue Damselfly.

Hummingbirds
I went to my mother in laws house Yesterday. Her hummingbirds are not as afraid of people as the ones that come to our house which allowed me to get a bit closer.

A walk in the park and other photo fun.
I am still experimenting with the new camera and realize there is much I need to learn about the various options. I’m having a lot of fun though. 🙂

The rain continues and the flowers are loving it. (so am I)
I am almost afraid to say anything to jinx the unusually pleasant weather we have had (so far). It has given us a bumper crop of dewberries. These grow wild near our house. We picked two quarts today.
These beautiful flowers have now become this:
Below: These Gaillardia pulchella have just started blooming on our land.
They are beautiful along the roadsides in the Hill Country right now.
This thistle was a bit weather beaten but I loved the way it looked.
This little Syrphis Hoverfly did too.
Sensitive Briar (Mimosa quadrivalvus) grows wild along the railroad tracks. I remember it being more fragrant than the ones I found today. Oh well, it is still beautiful.
