I'm glad you enjoyed all the various subjects here :).<br /><br />Hi Cindy - at some point, I probably will paint the truck; I took several photos of it. And, the flowers are always a possibility! Thanks for stopping by :).<br /><br />Hi Katherine - isn't that Columbine pretty? This was the first time I've seen them, and at first, I thought it was a type of Shooting Star flower. Thanks for your visit!<br /><br />Hey, Jala - I was so excited when I saw these irises! Iris are my favorite flower, and I love seeing them out in the wild. And, yeah, I know you aren't into insects, but you know I have a thing for dragonflies. Anything that is a voracious consumer of mosquitos is a friend of mine ;).Sonya Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879889885162011649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-35537233583868768602011-05-30T02:00:59.847-04:002011-05-30T02:00:59.847-04:00Love the flowers.
