For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Daily Pics 2020…#20.
Good morning everyone on this 20-20-20 day! Just take a look at the title. That’s makes this a fantastic day. Plus, it’s Monday, double fantastic day. That’s fine, you don’t need to agree. But it still is anyway, for me at least. It did get a bit cooler overnight though, but not bad for winter. And the sun is going to shine. It’s still dark right now, but it is supposed to be sunny today which is nice. We haven’t been getting many sunny days this winter. For that matter, we haven’t had many sunny days since last summer. Oh well, no matter what, the sun still shines brightly even if we can’t see it. I think I said that before.
And there are always sunny pics to enjoy…
And first of all we have the swamp smartweed, which is not a weed at all but a very pretty wildflower which can be found along the rocky or sandy shores of lakes and rivers, plus it will grow completely in the water too.
And then we have the panicled aster. It’s not one of our most showy asters but it is still pretty in it’s white with bright yellow center. The petals don’t look quite as white as they should because it was a cloudy day. White asters are not too common in this area.
That’s our selection for today, thanks for stopping by to take a look. I hope each of you have a great day and God bless!

Daily Pics 2020…#19.
Good morning everyone and Happy Sunday to all of you as well! We didn’t get that much snow from our snowstorm and strangely it didn’t get real cold right after. That’s the normal way things happen, we get snow and it turns very cold the next day, which makes it hard to shovel the snow. But this time it stayed mild. Actually, our whole winter so far has been fairly mild, which is certainly a nice break from having the last 4 winters that were very cold with lots of snow. So I’m certainly thankful for this break. However, the day is cloudy once again.
Therefore, let’s enjoy some more summer sunshine with these bright wildflowers…
And we will start off with these beauties, the moss pinks, a wildflower that is not too common in this area so always fun to find some.
And here we have a very common wildflower, yarrow, which is mostly found in white but sometimes can be found in pale pink as well. They love open areas and often in rocky spots that are quite dry. But they will grow most anywhere. There is also a garden variety which looks much the same and comes in several different colors.
Thank you once again for joining us here to enjoy some of our wildflowers. I hope you all have an enjoyable Sunday and God bless!
