ReplyDeleteDearest Miyako,
ReplyDeleteMy Dad used to grow a lot of Salvias in the summer; always looking bright and happy.
Lovely flowers and birds you captured. Good luck with your new PC. I used my laptop during our vacation of 7 days in Arizona and it is always hard to get used to newer system.
Hugs,
Mariette
i have fond memories of sucking the sweet juices from salvia flowers as a child! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and plants and birds!! Such wonderful captures of your world, Miyako!! Thank you for sharing the beauty! Have a great week!
ReplyDeletethank you for this post. i learned that the flower that was aplenty while growing up is called Ixora. i only knew its name in the vernacular. thanks again.
ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
Hello Miyako! I didn't know there was a red salvia as the one I grow is purple, but it is very pretty also.
ReplyDeleteYour birds look like our doves, house sparrows and cormorants. I like to look at birds from different places on the planet for the similarities and differences...
Exciting on the new computer. I think I need a new laptop as this one is getting old and slow.. well like I am too. LOL.. Thank you for linking into Nature Notes... Michelle
Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots of the flowers and birds.
ReplyDeleteYour city must be a riot of colour with these flowers everywhere.
ReplyDeleteThese are all wonderful photographs, and I thank you so much for linking with Today's Flowers.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking us with you for a trip to City Park, it looks a lovely place to visit! I have two Japanese ladies moved in this week - they are great fun, so was thinking of you my Japanese Blogging friend!
