It’s time for the Flower Hour!
This time, last year, we visited the Scottsdale/Fountain Hills, Arizona area—the desert in winter.
Taking my dog for walks is the only form of exercise I can engage in, but it’s always worth it, walking around my brother’s neighborhood.
Desert décor and landscape are always interesting to see. Soon after the holidays, many aloe plants were still sporting their holiday décor.
Around another corner, the prickly pear cactus blushes profusely at being seen so early in the morning.
And if one is lucky and the timing is right, the saguaro cacti show off their bouquets.
For the Flower Hour, share your images of flowers, gardens, fields of flowers, seasonal leaves and plants, blossoms, berries, and wildflowers. Bouquets and silk/faux flowers are welcome.
There are no specific themes for the Flower Hour, but please use your own photography. And you have all week to link to this post.
Sharing for Lens-Artists: Around the Corner
