This past Tuesday morning, I went for an extended hike at Peace Valley Park near Doylestown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It was a mostly cloudy morning but nevertheless I was rewarded with a colorful expression of nature that was restorative to my being.
For most of these colorful expressions of nature, I do not have a name. But at the end, I have a photo for your taste buds. :)
The people who owned my house before the people who owned it before me were (apparently) master gardeners. Consequently, I have strawberries that grow as ground cover in the spring to early summer in my front yard EVERY YEAR! So cute. They totally make me smile.
AhaHaha ! TIM you are terrible ! You're unable to tell us the name of the flowers !!! But you can put a name on wild straw berry !!! In which desolate world does SN lives ??? Wild strawberry is something helping us to find life simply... gorgeous !!!
Hello Tim, how are you? With the last picture you made me remember. My father has many of these little plants, sorry for don't know the right name in English but I hope you understand me, in his house in his garden. If I remember I will take a pic to you see. But as it's not cold enough here the strawberries aren't ready yet. See you soon.
Wild carrot ? I recognise just that flower here. In France we have carottes sauvages or rather *ombelliferes*. Ombelle = ombrelle -> sunshade. I cannot do the difference between wild carrot and hemlock which is a dangerous poison ! Wild carrot is very difficult to take and your picture is neat. Bravo ! But mine is perhaps neat on another thing ?
I love them all, Tim, but especially the purple one. Love the DOF on it. We get wild strawberries in our yard and from time to time I'll eat a couple, just to say I did it. Not much flavor but at least they're edible :)
Gracias, coral. La belleza de la naturaleza está fuera de la descriptión. Muchos saludos.
Hi, aluadacbs. Glad my post could bring back a good memory. I am doing well; hope you are also.
Thanks, cergie. I'm glad you appreciate the pictue. You do excellent photos, too.
Thanks, ginnie. I thought that purple wildflower stood out, too. As for the wild strawberry, if I get the chance, maybe I'll have to try one again to see if your and other people's description of it as bland is correct for me. It's not so in my memory.
Hi, lynn. Yes, we do have a beautiful life as long as we don't make it ugly.
My main blog: Ramblings generally focuses on telling a story via photography and words. These stories generally center around family, nature, and church although sometimes just about life in general. I also have a blog entitled Fingerprints. I post less frequently in Fingerprints. It serves as a catch all of anything that does not go in my Ramblings blog including memes, quizzes, and reports on books and movies.
The road awaits
Time doesn't
The road beckons
Time steps forward
Will we move
In step with time?
Will we step forward
Shaping our time?
Will we take time
To see the present?
Will we explore the past
And understand our heritage?
Will we laugh?
Will we wonder?
Will we touch?
Will we feel?
Time flies on
We have choices
Shall we go fast?
Shall we go slow?
We shall go forward
But we will choose the pace
We may dance with all our heart
Or bathe ourselves in a setting sun

Oh, and the answer is YES. Yes, you can eat wild strawberries, although they don't really taste like anything...
Great flower photos, reminds me of their Creator. ec

Hi, san nakji. I haven't eaten one in a long while. But I use to recall them as being special treats.

Hi, deals on wheels. Strawberries are wonderful tasty fruits. With them in your front lawn, you are blessed.
Thanks, mreddie. Their creator must have a vivid imaginations to have made nature so diverse and beautiful.
Ah, cergie. A couple of them I have some local names. One is a wild carrot and I think another is a horse nettle. Can you guess which are which?
Thanks, samrina. I enjoy being out in nature and taking pictures.
Esas fotos son maravillas, el verde la clorofila que da vida y las hace lucir PRE-CIO-SAS!
Un Saludote

Shame ! Not "carrotte" but "carotte" !!!
