Recently, I told you about Phil Springer and that he wrote the music for "Santa Baby". Many of you were kind enough to vote for the documentary for him as a People's Choice Award, which it won!
Now, I have another link where you may vote for him!
It is the Webby Awards! Here is the link-
Voting is open until April 16th, so please vote! Phil Springer will turn 100 in May! Wouldn't it great if he won this and could celebrate this on his 100th birthday?
Once again...https://wbby.co/57567N
Anyone can vote wherever you are in the world! It is a global award!
Now, on to our Spring photos....
As we were leaving to walk at Panola State Park recently, I had to stop and ask Richard to take a photo of the azalea bush that we have in a pot on our front steps. It was overcast but this flower was so bright! It is a Hershey red azalea! Remember me telling you about the film about Milton Hershey that will be out this summer? The azalea is named after the flowers at Hershey Gardens, I believe!
Now, here we are at Panola Mountain State Park. See the blocks of wood for children (or the young at heart)? You know I always have to stack these up and then, do a bit of decoration. The small spent blossom on the top is from one of the azaleas that they have planted there....
There is a pink one too!
These are just beside the trail as you enter the woods. (I need to do a post about these. I always thought they were native azaleas. It is a bit more complicated than that, and of course, it involves England! Stay tuned!)
The fringe trees blooming are such a wonderful thing to see! (Native).
Trumpet creeper, some say it smells like cinnamon, some like coffee. I have told you this before, I am sure. It has a very distinct fragrance, but I don't like comparisons, I think it smells like itself, which is marvelous. (It is also a native)
Look! On the horizon, it is Stone Mountain!
You know that Richard zoomed in for you! See, it is a "mountain" of rock and is much bigger than either Panola Mountain or Arabia Mountain. If you ever fly out of the Atlanta Airport, look down and see if you can see the grey mountain with the green buildings on top, that would be Stone Mountain.
The bright red diamorpha looks somewhat muted in this photo, that is because it now has the white star shaped white flowers on it! It seemed that a lot of the flowers were a bit early this year, but I am not complaining! Hope you enjoyed the blossoms and views I showed you here! Take care, my friends! Let me know if you were able to vote for Phil Springer!
If anyone wants to know how Richard sounds on guitar, I say that he sounds a lot like Ralph McTell! Enjoy! Sweet Mystery.
