Purple Flowers Bush

HAPPY EASTER, 2012!

Purple Flower Branch

These beautiful branches of purple flowers grew along a low white wall on my sister's backyard. They had a velvety feel to the touch, and fuzzy looking. Well, knowing that I am a sucker for purple color, I found myself admiring these flowers whenever I could get outside.

Since the flowers were so spread out on long branches, they were a challenge to take pictures. My camera could not focus on the entire branch, but rather just a part of the flowers. On top of it, I was still jet-lag and tiresome after a long exhausting trip! I fell tipsy and was not fully all there!

I admired people who traveled great distance and bounced right back into life as I was in a daze! Maybe it has to do with growing older, I thought! It has to...

I like this flower, took some home to grow, but couldn't get to them in time before they died.

I have heard so much that you are growing older.

I'll then have a company of my age.

Those are interesting flowers, never seen them before. I can see how they would be a challenge to photograph. Hope you get over the jet lag soon.

I blame it on the elevation change. We drove up to NC this week and it always takes me a few days to get my energy back! Love these gorgeous flowers!

You still captured beautiful shots of those purple wildflowers Icy, despite being tired. Just shows talent is always there and does not go away but most likely strengthens with age.
