This is the first time this air plant (Tillandsia) has bloomed. I love the beautiful purple flower. Afterwards, I believe I should be expecting baby pups. Snapped some photos to share with you all!

A bunch of weeds with white flowers.
Wedding Weed BouquetI was walking home one day in a not so nice area, when suddenly I came across this beautiful weed. It reminded me of a wedding bouquet. It was definitely a surprise worth admiring and taking a picture of. Beauty can pop up in unexpected places ! :)

A bunch of orange flowers growing near lattice.
A Weed or Not a Weed?As I was going around our backyard pulling weeds, I found these beautiful orange flowers growing through the lattice that surrounds our air conditioner. We never planted them, so I wondered how they sprung up there. Then I noticed the leaves on this "flower" and they looked exactly like the leaves of the weeds I had been pulling up.

A palm tree lined street.
Drifting Away (Florida)Beautiful view of palms and a street that runs right by the beach in Clearwater Florida! White sands, salty ocean air & breeze, blue skies, and lots of sunshine. A heavenly daydream lived through one picture.

A sac of the praying mantis on a tree.
Praying Mantis SacsI discovered two praying mantis sacs in my backyard. The sacs are both relatively small so I wonder how many eggs are inside each. These praying mantis will be a great addition to my garden when they hatch.

Creating Your Own Botanical Garden During Shut DownThe year of 2020 will never be forgotten, with virtually no travel, separation from family, and many tourist attractions closed. It was time to focus more on what I have. I decided to make my garden more of a relaxation, tranquil, and fragrant place to hang out, during a time where going away wasn't really possible. I went with some upgrades to my garden, all the while this work was giving me a purpose, therapy of plantings and the great outdoors, that is free to enjoy.

The sun shining through leaves.
Time to Wake UpThe early morning hours are a good time to take photos as the sun comes out for the day. I like this picture taken on a hiking trail, when the sun is shining through the foliage while parts of the foliage are still waking up!

A lake surrounded by forest.
Spring Surroundings of the Vidraru LakeThe surroundings of the Vidraru Lake are unforgettable especially in spring. The mountainous landscape, the gentle rays of the sun and the calm surface of the lake enchant with their beauty.
