Tomorrow will be another hike for me up Panola Mountain! Just in case my photos don't turn out very well, would you like to see what was blooming on Arabia Mountain on April 5, 2013? These blooms will be very similar on Panola but they might not be as far along this year since we have had a much cooler Spring than last year...still, it should be nice!
This is a scheduled Wildflower Hike, so I will be most happy to hear about all the flowers that are blooming. There might not be as many blooming as they normally are this time of year, but that is okay with me, the bright red diamorpha, the lovely white sandwort (I used to call them joyflowers before I knew the name!) and the bright yellow blooms of the hairy grounsel will make me very happy indeed.
It is supposed to be a beautiful day and I will be looking at the sky too! I really love these monadnocks. When I am there, I am in my element and the time passes by so quickly.
Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend too, doing what you love!
(I have so many posts that I am working on for you. So many things to tell you and so little time!)
Love all the pictures Kay. I am so ready for blue skies and flowers. Enjoy your hike, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susie! It was wonderful, I will write a post soon!
DeleteThose are gorgeous pictures, Kay. I LOVE the deep blue skies there! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteYes, Diana, I enjoy our blue skies very much, hoping for even more this Spring!
DeleteEnjoy the hike, dear Kay, and don't worry about your blog - offline life always takes precedence :-)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean with being in your element. Places and times like that, it is when we don't want to be anywhere else right now, when everything seems to be just right for us. Such precious times we all need.
It's frustrating though when you have so much you want to write and life just gets in the way!
DeleteAnywhere in nature is the best place for me, but even a beautiful building as long it passes my standards for beauty, is perfect for me too!
Have a lovely weekend too and enjoy your hike. I hope you get your blue skies - it's predicted grey here but we might be lucky and get a glimpse. x
ReplyDeleteSaturday was one of those perfect Spring days, it truly was lovely for that hike.
DeleteHope you have a nice day for your hike. Wild flowers are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love all flowers but I must say that wildflowers are my favorites!
DeleteI would love to hike that area if I lived around there. My neighbor Jean and I are going to hike at the California Poppy Reserve this coming Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteThe California Poppy Reserve, are you kidding me, that sounds like heaven!! I LOVED your wildflower photo recently, you should have that on the side of your blog for always, I am not kidding!!
DeleteWith so many kittens, i am behind on blogs, so tomorrow is now today! Thus i hope the hike was all you thought it would be and more.
ReplyDeleteIt was beyond my wildest dreams! I loved it! I will do a post about it this week, hopefully!
DeleteEnjoy your hike, Kay...but watch where you're walking. When you decide to look at the sky...stop walking; look up and when you've had your fill of sky, cast your eyes to where you're walking once again! :)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your photos...I'm sure you'll succeed in taking some beautiful ones.
The trail going to Panola Mountain is quite hilly so one always has to step very gingerly and stop to look at the sky! In fact, when I do my post, you will be very surprised at what I saw on the trail and what the trail guide (the Park Ranger) did with the object that I found!
DeleteA wildflower hike sounds great.
ReplyDeleteHave a good time.
Thank you, John! It somehow just seems right to have your comment on this particular post, with your pretty yellow flower!!
DeleteYou have such a lovely gift for filling your life with beauty and sharing it here. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWell, my goodness, that is just about the nicest thing anybody has ever said to me. You are a sweet doll. Thank YOU!
DeleteGreat photographs Kay. Nothing like a day of spring sunshine to lift the mood of anyone out in it. Nature therapy. Works every time.
ReplyDeleteEveryone might not agree with me, but I always think of nature as being God made and not man made. All that beauty must come from God, everything is so intricately designed, so perfect, it is too awesome for words.
DeleteNature is the best place for me too... Michelle
