I was at the local farmer's market this morning to pick up corn and some other delicious fresh produce for cookouts this weekend, and snapped the three stages of the biggest hibiscus flowers I've ever seen. These hibiscus plants are planted outside and come back year after year. The bloom is a burgundy color.As the bloom unfolds, the color gets brighter and brighter.
I love the accordion-pleated back.And it's pretty nice from the front too!

My personal version of an adorable little book worm. This little sculpture sits on my front step in the shade of a large pot containing a hibiscus. And this view shows a faded hibiscus bloom serving as a book mark . . .

Recently I started buying this brand of salad dressing and trying a few different flavor varieties. Tonight was this first time I noticed that on the back where the ingredients are listed, etc., there's a small map of Texas in a circle and the words "Go Texan" written underneath!

The recent dry, hot weather has made my backyard bird bath a popular spot. And sometimes the birds don't wait patiently for their turn! This blue jay feather was stuck in the grass near the bird bath after a squabble over who was next.

This bronze statue is a recent addition to the children's section of our local library. Isn't she adorable?
It reminds me of this equally adorable sculpture located outside of a library in Doylestown.
