I am starting a new project, suggested by my dear friend Chrissy, and I would like to invite anyone who is interested to join in the fun! (A big welcome to Valfal (Valerie) who will be joining us! (By the way, you can join any time and catch up if I'm on the next number) I only post about once a week these days, so it won't be stressful to keep up with me! Naturally, you can post all the pictures you want inbetween project pictures, but please wait for me to post the next in the series before you post yours. I will try to post my project picture every Monday morning. Anything goes for your subject(s) unless you choose to restrict yourself to something specific. That can be a fun challenge and you might choose to take pictures of a certain type of subject or a specific color, etc. The point is to have fun! :) Let me know in a comment that you're joining in on the fun and I'll add you to the list of people doing this project with a link so folks can see what you've come up with! :) My first picture was really hard to pick, since you may know how often I choose to highlight one subject! But I finally decided on this glowing Morning Glory, which is growing in my wildflower section. So many flowers! It's just incredible how much these vines grow, and all over the place too! They are really amazing flowers and I've really been looking forward to them. I have a whole area devoted to them, and there will be several colors as they begin to bloom. Explored on July 29, 2014. Highest placement, #1.

We have so many beautiful wildflowers that grow on our property, but this morning I knew it was time to see if one of my very favorites was in bloom yet. The gorgeous Stringflower, with its soft pink shades and sparkling, unusually shaped petals, never fail to take my breath away. These gorgeous flowers, which are about 1" in diameter, grow very low to the ground and are found in our lower forest where they won't be burned by too much sunshine. It's always a challenge to find blossoms in direct sunlight, but I was determined. I know from experience that these blossoms are so much prettier when the sun's rays cause the petals to sparkle as if they are covered with pink glitter! Victor Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 – 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. He is considered one of the greatest and best known French writers. In France, Hugo's literary fame comes first from his poetry but also rests upon his novels and his dramatic achievements. Among many volumes of poetry, Les Contemplations and La Légende des siècles stand particularly high in critical esteem. Outside France, his best-known works are the novels Les Misérables, 1862, and Notre-Dame de Paris, 1831 (known in English as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame). Wikipedia: Victor Hugo
